Yes, try the following:

% apt-cache search nslookup
dnsutils - Utilities for Querying DNS Servers

% apt-cache search traceroute
traceroute - Traces the route taken by packets over a TCP/IP network.
libnet-rawip-perl - Perl interface to lowlevel TCP/IP
xt - A graphical traceroute
libnet0-dev - Routines for the construction and handling of network packets.
mtr - Full screen ncurses or X11 traceroute tool
traceroute-nanog - NANOG traceroute


apt-cache is a great tool for finding things.
