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.
