    dig on my computer is provided by the package 'dnsutils'. According to
    "apt-cache show dnsutils", dig is a tool from the Bind source. It comes
    with a couple other tools as well, so I would guess that is why they
    don't call the package 'dig'.

    If you "apt-get install apt-file", then you can start doing things like
    "apt-file search dig" to find which package you need to install. Or you
    can visit packages.debian.org and use the search tool. Both very handy,
    in my experience.

    HTH,
    Jacob
