Cybe's answer works fine - but if you are interested in using the
packaging tools another ( faster) way to find files from a package install
is for example

dpkg -L rutebook     # note capital "L" 

To narrow it down you could do

dpkg -L rutebook | grep index

You might be interested in the apt howto, which you can install too:

sudo apt-get install apt-howto-en     ( for the English version)

In the case of the apt-howto, simply typing "apt-howto" without quotes in
a terminal will open it in a browser once it is installed  :-)

The apt howto is also available on line at

http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/

That's a Debian document of course, but the Ubuntu apt works the same way.
