I got it myself with help from a friend...
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ # for X in `find -name *.deb`; do echo $X; dpkg --contents
$X | grep file_you_want_to_know; done >list.txt
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ # less list.txt
... and then search for file_you_want_to_know.
I think it is possible to optimize this, but I am not very good in bash
script. Time for reading some docs... ;)

It's in gettext.
