You can also check out descriptions on the web, if you need a web
interface:

http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages

What I usually do with fresh installations is just install what I need 
(emacs, vim, gcc, etc), then when I need something, I either look on
Google and then check if Debian has it (which it almost always does),
or I do an 
% apt-cache search regex

But Google is usually my first bet.
