I would suggest dpkg -S instead of apt-file find, which matches prefix, not exact file. I would also filter on the package name and ensure unicity. Also, never log in as root.

Here would me my quick & dirty take at your command chain:
find /usr/bin -atime +360 | xargs -l1 sudo dpkg -S | awk -F ':' '{print $1}' | 
sort | uniq


Nice command.  If found some 76 packages, including, for example, gcc-4.8, 
setcd, wmtime...

Thanks to all also for the apt- and debfoster- based methods.  They need more 
thought.


On the dark side, something bad happened during the upgrade, which I only 
realized later:

*pulseaudio* was surreptitiously installed.  Beowulf worked well without it, 
and Chimaera also worked well as soon as I removed it.

*python* was not installed at all.  How come?


Best
Ale
