If you aren't interested in Ubuntu-specific packages then you can use
the Debian web pages for searching for and in packages:

 http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages

Since Ubuntu doesn't differ too much it should be good enough most of
the time.

Software is not manufactured, it is something you write and publish.
Keep Europe free from software patents, we do not want censorship
by patent law on written works.

creativeness.
