In general, you can use packages.ubuntu.com to search for which packages
contain a certain file.
Alternatively, you can use apt-file. You first need to install this
utility, then run "apt-file update".

Any *.h files are usually separated out in packages with the same name
as the library, but with "*-dev" tacked on at the end, so that users who
don't develop do not need to install them.
