When you do [U]pdate in dselect, it downloads some Packages files (if you use ftp method, they are in /var/lib/dpkg/methods/ftp). You should be able to search those files to find the package which contains any of the files installed by Debian (except possibly for configuration files which are created by installation scripts).
