     grep on the Packages file.  On my machine, I have a file
available/potato.gz that is all of the potato package files
concatenated. 

bob:vc-/1:bob>zgrep "Package: xfonts-biznet-iso-8859-" available/potato.gz 
Package: xfonts-biznet-iso-8859-2-100dpi
Package: xfonts-biznet-iso-8859-2-75dpi
Package: xfonts-biznet-iso-8859-2-base
