apt-file is a system that creates a database of all files installed by
all packages in the debian repository irrespective of their install
status on your system.  If you want command foo you can apt-file foo and
it will tell you which packages include a file foo.  If you want to
limit it to /bin/foo then you apt-file /bin/foo.
