apt-cache search is your friend. Give these a go:

[n6tadam@station markup]$ apt-cache search multimedia keys
acme - Enables the "multimedia buttons" found on laptops
hotkeys - A hotkeys daemon for your Internet/multimedia keyboard in X
lineakd - Linux support for Easy Access and Internet Keyboards
xmms-xf86audio - XF86Audio multimedia-key support for XMMS
