I do this from cron every night:
#! /bin/bash
cd /usr/local/fromDebian
DEBIAN=ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists
wget -o LOG-unstable-contents $DEBIAN/unstable/Contents-i386.gz
mv Contents-i386.gz Contents.unstable.gz
Then I could do
$ dpkg -S papersize
libpaperg: /usr/man/man5/papersize.5.gz
libpaperg: /usr/man/man3/systempapersizefile.3paper.gz
libpaperg: /usr/man/man3/defaultpapersizefile.3paper.gz
or
$ zgrep '/etc/papersize' /usr/man/man*/*gz 2/dev/null
/usr/man/man1/paperconf.1.gz:.B /etc/papersize

Then I could do

Clearly, on an installed file, I can use dpkg -S, but what about looking for
where I install something from?
