That's the canonical way to search. I found 'wajig' to give me much
the same output, and I don't have to mess around updating an apt-file
database.
'wajig whichpkg libawt.so'
JIG Warning: fping was not found. Consider installing the package fping.

The neat thing about apt-file or wajig used this way is you don't have
to have the file on your hard drive in order to find the right
package. It's quite useful in building packages, you search for the
missing header files until you run out of compiler complaints :).
