When Pendo first mentioned apt-file I thought it was actually

Unfortunately this is not the case.


From the apt-files package description:

 Unlike apt-cache, you can search in which package a file is included
or list the contents of a package without installing or fetching it.

So no, it has a completely different function from that of "dpkg -S" and is
actually much more useful, from my experience.
