The find-cruft script gives a system wide list of files with no obvious package origin and dpkg -S /usr/bin/* will do the same on a per directory/file glob level. The one thing they are not doing is looking at /etc/alternatives. For instance the package xtightvncviewer created the following softlinks /usr/bin/vncviewer -> /etc/alternatives/vncviewer and /etc/alternatives/vncviewer -> /usr/bin/xtightvncviewer The package origin of these soft links are not reported, but it might be possible to add that ability to the find-cruft script.
