You could not find it as the package name is not disks, but
gnome-disk-utility. so you should have maybe searched with disk*, that
at least does show up here with "apt-cache search" and "aptitude
search", although buried in a big pile of other packages.

FWIW: it does nothing more than the partition manager in KDE's System
Settings (actually, even less), and there is a much nicer tool for KDE
that shows you the disk usage in a graphical view: filelight
