Hehe :-)

Well if you don't know which package the files are in, you can find
out.  First thing to do is download
ftp://ftp.debian.org/dists/stable/Contents-i386.gz or find it on a
CD.  Then:

zgrep as86 Contents-i386.gz

Also, if you have a package already installed but don't know which
package has a particular file, you can use:

dpkg -S filename
