%dpkg -S Xm/Xm.h
lesstifg-dev: /usr/X11R6/include/Xm/Xm.h
% dpkg -S X11/keysym.h
xlib6g-dev: /usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysym.h
This can also be searched for on Debian's web page at the bottom of
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages under "Search the Contents 
of the Latest Release".  For Xm/Xm.h this returned:
FILE                                                         PACKAGE
usr/X11R6/include/Xm/Xm.h                               devel/lesstifg-dev
usr/i486-linuxlibc1/include/X11/Xm/Xm.h                 oldlibs/lesstif-altdev
and for X11/keysym.h
FILE                                                         PACKAGE
usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysym.h                          x11/xlib6g-dev
usr/i486-linuxlibc1/include/X11/keysym.h                oldlibs/xlib6-altdev
The oldlibs packages are used if you are compiling a package that needs
libc5 and will not work with libc6(glibc 2).
