I've fixed this in the current development copy of the package, but I
can't help observing that "apt-cache search" is *not* the right tool to
search for packages on the basis of executable file names. You should
look into apt-file, some of its front-end (e.g. packagesearch), or the
only packages.debian.org search engine for that.

Cheers.
