It's in util-linux:

% dpkg -S /sbin/getty 
util-linux: /sbin/getty

For some packages the name is different from the source package; in that
case, you'd have to do a 'dpkg -s binary-package' to find out the source
package (it's the Source: line) but that's not the case for util-linux.
The source package for util-linux is simply called util-linux.
