"dpkg -S" does that.  It'll produce the package that any file argument
may have come from.  You can use shell globbing to feed it an entire
directory's worth of files.

  $ dpkg -S /usr/bin/zip* 
  zip: /usr/bin/zip
  zip: /usr/bin/zipcloak
  unzip: /usr/bin/zipgrep
  unzip: /usr/bin/zipinfo
  zip: /usr/bin/zipnote
  zip: /usr/bin/zipsplit
