Try this on for size:
duke:~# apt-cache search kudzu
kudzu-vesa - Hardware detecting library
hwdata - hardware identification / configuration data
kudzu - The Red Hat Linux hardware probing tool.
kudzu-dev - Hardware detecting library

Also:
duke:~# apt-cache search discover | grep discover
discover - hardware identification system
discover-data - hardware lists for libdiscover1
libdiscover-dev - hardware identification library development files
libdiscover1 - hardware identification library
libdiscover1-pic - hardware identification library - static PIC version
read-edid - hardware information-gathering tool for VESA PnP monitors

So, where are we now?
