Sure, but Gene did not know earlier that exfat-fuse was already installed,
nor that it's named exfat-fuse rather than exfat; similar problem with
libgtk2 a few weeks ago. apt-file doesn't care, so it's a useful tool
for Gene's armoury.
BTW dpkg -L foo ≋ apt-file list foo
but again, apt-file doesn't need foo to be installed.
Cheers,
David.
