libstdc++VERSION.deb is the actual library (i.e. .so files). You need this
package for using software that is dynamically linked against this library.
You need the libstdc++-devVERSION.deb (notice the 'dev') for the header
files such as iostream.h. You need the -dev package to compile your own
programs that will link against the stdc++ libraries.
That is why you see a libfoo-dev package for almost every libfoo package in
Debian. Most users who will never compile software don't need the -dev
package installed.

In your shell. I.e. .bach_profile etc.

thaths@www:[1] ~ $ which g++
/usr/bin/g++
thaths@www:[2] ~ $ dpkg -S /usr/bin/g++
g++: /usr/bin/g++
You need to install the g++ package for the actual binaries.
