Because 'dpkg -S' can't find it.
And more to the point, what's looking at that file? It isn't my login shell,
it isn't any of the setup files that it looks at (.bashrc and so forth).
But the variables in that file are getting set somehow, and I'd like to
know how, and what's going to someday brea

I'm trying to buy some simple Debian stickers for a laptop, and going
down the list of vendors on http://www.debian.org/misc/merchandise has
been a disappointing experience. You should consider removing three of
these vendors.

Once upon a time (mozilla 1.0, I think) the titlebar menu icon (and thus the
icon on things like the KDE panel) was a little Mozilla icon.
Lately it's reverted to the standard X that gets put on all X11 apps which
do not specify their own icon.

For earlier versions of Netscape, there was a netscape-java-477 package,

Okay, there's a software package out there which is being tracked by
Debian, but only very slowly. Some random guy built RPMs for it, so I
thought I'd grab them, and then use either 'rpm' or 'alien' to put the
package onto my testing/unstable machine.

After running 2.2.20 quite happily, I figured I'd try the 2.4 series.
So I just grabbed the 2.4.17-1 source package, and I'm just about to build
it when I think, hey, the "preemptible kernel" patch listed here:

looks like it could be useful.

There's probably an easy way out of this mess, but I'm somewhat new
to Debian. (Been using Linux for years, but just recently switched to
using a distro rather than hacking everything together by hand.)
