Use apt-file instead:

~/ > apt-file search netcdf.h
libgdal-doc: /usr/share/doc/libgdal-doc/gdal/frmt_netcdf.html
libhdf4-alt-dev: /usr/include/hdf/hdf2netcdf.h
libhdf4-alt-dev: /usr/include/hdf/hdf4_netcdf.h
libhdf4-dev: /usr/include/hdf/hdf2netcdf.h
libhdf4-dev: /usr/include/hdf/netcdf.h
libnetcdf-dev: /usr/include/netcdf.h
libnetcdf-dev: /usr/include/netcdf.hh
libvtk5-dev: /usr/include/vtk-5.2/vtknetcdf/netcdf.h
netcdf-doc: /usr/share/doc/netcdf-doc/netcdf.html

That was on a 10.04 machine - and it reveals the packages "libhdf4-dev", 
"libnetcdf-dev" and "libvtk5-dev" but I have no idea which one is more 
suitable for you.
