ogra at styx:~$ grep Name=Disks /usr/share/applications/*
/usr/share/applications/org.gnome.DiskUtility.desktop:Name=Disks

ogra at styx:~$ dpkg -S
/usr/share/applications/org.gnome.DiskUtility.desktop
gnome-disk-utility:
/usr/share/applications/org.gnome.DiskUtility.desktop

the app and package are obviously called gnome-disk-utility :)
