if you have a file /bin/ls on your system and you want to know what
package it come from:
'dpkg -S /bin/ls'
if you want to know what packages in Debian has 'ghostscript' in its
name or path, including packages not installed, then you can use
'apt-file search ghostscript '.
lovely stuff. thanks a lot...
