Ah, dig! Why not do a `apt-file search dig' to find out. Since that has
a huge output, use grep. Something like this:

dfokkema@sirius:dfokkema$ apt-file search dig|grep bin/dig
digikam: usr/bin/digikam
digikam: usr/bin/digikamcameraclient
digikamplugins: usr/bin/digikamdcrawclient
dnsutils: usr/bin/dig
erlang: usr/lib/erlang/lib/stdlib-1.12.7/ebin/digraph.beam
erlang: usr/lib/erlang/lib/stdlib-1.12.7/ebin/digraph_utils.beam
mp: usr/bin/digestp
mush: usr/bin/digestify
smartlist: var/list/.bin/digest
tomcat4: usr/share/tomcat4/bin/digest.sh

See? You need dnsutils. What, don't you have apt-file installed, ;-)?
(Don't forget to run `apt-file update' first).

HTH, David
