I'm not sure what you mean exactly, but 'dpkg -L <package name>' (e.
g. dpkg -l mozilla-firefox') will give you a list of all files that
are installed with a package. Executables are stored in /bin, /sbin,
/usr/bin etc., so you can filter these lines. For example:

$ dpkg -L mozilla-firefox | grep bin/
/usr/sbin/update-mozilla-firefox-chrome
/usr/bin/firefox
/usr/bin/mozilla-firefox
