HAL9000:~$ dpkg -S /usr/include/string.h
libc6-dev: /usr/include/string.h
I believe libc6-dev is what you need to provide those. Remember, the
lib-whatever packages are the runtime items and the lib-whatever-dev are
needed to compile your own stuff. I've stumbled over that one *many*
times. But once you manage to remember that, you're pretty much set.

HAL9000:~$ dpkg -S nslookup
dnsutils: /usr/share/man/man1/nslookup.1.gz
dnsutils: /usr/lib/nslookup.help
dnsutils: /usr/bin/nslookup
nslookup is off in another package - dnsutils
