If you grab the Contents-i386.gz (or whatever) file out of the archive -
it's in dists/stable or dists/unstable, depending - then you can grep

debian provides all the necessary tools

dpkg -S file
will tell you if a file exists in an installed package
apt-cache search string
will search package name and descriptions
I was under the impression that one can search local caches of all
available packages NOT just those you have installed apt-cache search
