The dpkg command looked like a good method, but no one mentioned another 
way that I use.

If you installed with Synaptic, simply run Synaptic, do a search on the 
package name. After it is found select the package in the search 
results, then in the lower pane click on the "Installed Files" tab and 
you will see there every file installed with that package. This might 
work with packages installed with apt as well, but as I never use apt I 
can't say for sure.
