Install auto-apt, do auto-apt update and then you can search like this:
$ auto-apt search -f xpm\.h
usr/X11R6/include/X11/xpm.h devel/xlibs-dev
usr/share/doc/gnome-dev-doc/html/C/gnome-stock-xpm.html doc/gnome-dev-doc
usr/share/doc/phpdoc/html/function.imagecreatefromxpm.html doc/phpdoc
usr/share/fsviewer/icons/xpm/home.xpm x11/fsviewer-icons
usr/share/gtktalog/xpm/help.xpm misc/gtktalog
usr/share/solfege/xpm/happyface-32x32.xpm sound/solfege
usr/share/solfege/xpm/harmonicintervall24.xpm sound/solfege
usr/share/solfege/xpm/harmonicprogression24.xpm sound/solfege
usr/share/solfege/xpm/holder.xpm sound/solfege
