One of the most fantastically-useful programs in Debian (and Ubuntu) is 
apt-file.  It downloads the lists of what files are in what packages and 
makes a searchable DB.  Unlike dpkg --listfiles or --search, it knows about 
every package in the APT repository, not just the packages you have 
installed.

Update the list of packages & files:
	$> apt-file update

What's in libicu36-dev?:
	$> apt-file show libicu36-dev
	libicu36-dev: usr/bin/derb
	libicu36-dev: usr/bin/genbrk
	libicu36-dev: usr/bin/gencnval
	(and so on...)

Where the hell is unicode/uchar.h???:
	$> apt-file search unicode/uchar.h
	libicu36-dev: usr/include/unicode/uchar.h
