Keyword searches of package descriptions can be done also, e.g.:
   apt-cache search anthy

To list available packages, I also often do:
  dpkg -l anthy
or
  dpkg -l anthy*
or
  dpkg -l *anthy*

To list the files a package contains:
  dpkg -L thepackagename

To find out what package a file belongs to:
  dpkg -S /path/to/filename

I use these commands all the time, in both Ubuntu and Debian.
