IIRC, libstdc++ has now been split into two packages: libg++ and libstdc++.
libg++ contains the runtime files required for C++ code in general.
libstdc++ contains the Standard C++ library, a class library kinda like
the Java API.

If you want to search for the package that a file belongs to, find
/debian/dists/potato/Contents-i386.gz and zgrep for particular files.

I've only used it on a laptop (I wanted the USB support).  It works,
mostly.  Last version I used was 2.3.99-pre3.
