Install auto-apt, do auto-apt update and then you can search like this:

$ auto-apt search -f xpm\.h
usr/X11R6/include/X11/xpm.h                             devel/xlibs-dev
usr/share/doc/gnome-dev-doc/html/C/gnome-stock-xpm.html doc/gnome-dev-doc
usr/share/doc/phpdoc/html/function.imagecreatefromxpm.html  doc/phpdoc
usr/share/fsviewer/icons/xpm/home.xpm                       x11/fsviewer-icons
usr/share/gtktalog/xpm/help.xpm                             misc/gtktalog
