My go to method for locating the file a package is in has been keeping a
Contents-i386.gz file around from your favorite package mirror. You
don't need to update it all that often. Then when you need a package
name for a file:
[michael@orion(~)] zgrep unicode/uchar.h Contents-i386.gz
usr/include/unicode/uchar.h libdevel/libicu36-dev
Both Debian and Ubuntu have package database websites that offer a
search by filename method as well.
