Thanks, Erwan for the explanation.  So I haven't quite gone mad, and aptitude 
search explains all.  gdebi GNOME GUI is indeed a Gnome GUI tool.  But the 
gdebi command is, according to aptitude search, in gdebi-core, which I have 
installed.  I have not installed either of the GUI packages.  I'll see 
whether it works next time I have a .deb to install.
