apt-cache is usefull for searching: "apt-cache search foo" displays
all packages that have foo in their description. (dpkg can do this
only with installed packages, apt-cache does this for all you have in
your /etc/apt/sources.list (don't forget "apt-get update"))
apt-cdrom is for adding package-information of cd-roms
