Debian has a package "apt-file" and as Ubuntu is based on Debian it
may have that package too.
After installing it and "apt-file update"ing once you can 'apt-file search'
for all packages containing the specified file.
In case Ubuntu has broken down the packages differently you should be
able to find it that way.

Ups.
And i wondered why my posting didn't turn up on the maillinglist.
I'm using mutt for writing e-mail only since a few days ago when the
last release introduced the feature to send mails to a specified
SMTP-Server. (Up to that release the local MTA had to be configured
right. So i used Thunderbird to actually write my mails as i never found
out how to configure a Smart-Host that requires SMTP-Auth)
To make a long story short, i accidentally press 'reply' instead of
'group reply'. :-)
