When looking for the location of packages (or the package that contains a
particular program) the most useful method that I have found is to search
the Contents file. This file is usually in the directory that contains the
binary-i386 tree. Download the file, then search inside the file for the
package or program you are looking for. The line containing the package
also indicates the section you will find it in. The line containing a
program also contains the package that provides that program.

Luck,

Dwarf
