In http://packages.ubuntu.com/ you can search for package or package
content.

The default settings for searching a package are:

Search on Package names only
Allows searching on subwords

with these settings, the search of kinit returns bootcd-mkinitramfs
which is the only package which answers to the search criteria (there is
no package called kinit, and kinit is a subword of bootcd-mkinitramfs).

The correct way to search for the package containing kinit is using "Search the 
contents of packages".
Searching kinit here returns:

usr/lib/klibc/bin/kinit libs/klibc-utils

which you have indeed installed.
