which really means, "2.2.14 kernel? You're kidding, right?" :D I'm a
compulsive kernel tester, so I don't use kernel packages. Check my
X-Operating-System header. :)
Actually, what it really means is that Debian doesn't package kernels and
kernel sources quite like RedHat. There's a whole other system that I
haven't aquainted myself with... I always use the tar.bz2's anyway.
Herbert, Anand or Gus will be able to fill you in on Debian's ruthless
kernel package policies, and the utilities that go with them.

As you saw above, dpkg -S. The output of dpkg --help is pretty good. Long,
but good.
