I knew there was a place to search the contents of packages, just
couldn't remember where. Traveled over to packages.debian.org in the
meantime, and... seems there's where you search package contents.
*smacking head (very hard)*
https://www.debian.org/distrib/packages#search_contents
Before sharing, I tried umpteen different variations by chopping parts
off both the front end and the back end of your desired find.... and
got absolute zero every time. Maybe your luck will be different.

* hey, looky there, text field's dictionary didn't gripe about
"umpteen" being a correctly spelled word. oh, but it apparently
doesn't like the word... "looky". ok, so let's try... "lookie". nope.
doesn't like that, either. "lookey"? nope. hm. *
