What does 'rpm -qa' do ?  Have you searched the apt-cache manpage ?

There is this package 'auto-apt'which would do exactly what you want.

----<from the package description>----

auto-apt  checks  the  file   access  of  programs  running  within  its
environments, and if a program tries to access a file known to belong in
an  uninstalled  package,  auto-apt  will  install  that  package  using
apt-get.  This feature requires apt and sudo to work.

----<end>----

There is  this other Debian package  called 'apt-file'.  It  is there in
'Sid' but I do not know whether a back-port is available.

Please let know if something has worked...
