I don't know about functionality (what do you mean by that?), but to
find the package that includes a certain file, go to
http://packages.debian.org/ and use the bottom search box. (The top
one allows you to search descriptions of packages.)

To find the package which a certain file already on your filesystem
belongs to, you can use dpkg -S.
