Good to know, but to answer the OP's initial question, you can always have a
look at what the package you just installed has inside:

$ dpkg -L <packagename>

Normally the binaries will be installed into /usr/bin, /usr/sbin or the like
(minus the /usr if they're more system software).

Example:

jaska at lagavulin:~ 02:55:00 $ dpkg -L bash
/.
/bin
/bin/bash
/etc
/etc/skel
/etc/skel/.bashrc
/etc/skel/.profile
/etc/skel/.bash_logout
/etc/bash.bashrc
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc
/usr/share/doc/bash
/usr/share/doc/bash/NEWS.gz
<snip>
/usr/share/man
/usr/share/man/man1
/usr/share/man/man1/clear_console.1.gz
<snip>
/usr/share/man/man7
/usr/share/man/man7/bash-builtins.7.gz
/usr/share/menu
/usr/share/menu/bash
/usr/bin
/usr/bin/bashbug
/usr/bin/clear_console
/bin/rbash
/bin/sh
diverted by dash to: /bin/sh.distrib
/usr/share/man/man1/sh.1.gz
diverted by dash to: /usr/share/man/man1/sh.distrib.1.gz
