+This file maps each file available in the Debian GNU/Linux system to
+the package from which it originates. It includes packages from the
+DIST distribution for the ARCH architecture.
+
+You can use this list to determine which package contains a specific
+file, or whether or not a specific file is available. The list is
+updated weekly, each architecture on a different day.
+
+When a file is contained in more than one package, all packages are
+listed. When a directory is contained in more than one package, only
+the first is listed.
+
+The best way to search quickly for a file is with the Unix `grep'
+utility, as in `grep <regular expression> CONTENTS':
+
+ $ grep nose Contents
+ etc/nosendfile net/sendfile
+ usr/X11R6/bin/noseguy x11/xscreensaver
+ usr/X11R6/man/man1/noseguy.1x.gz x11/xscreensaver
+ usr/doc/examples/ucbmpeg/mpeg_encode/nosearch.param graphics/ucbmpeg
+ usr/lib/cfengine/bin/noseyparker admin/cfengine
+
+This list contains files in all packages, even though not all of the
+packages are installed on an actual system at once. If you want to
+find out which packages on an installed Debian system provide a
+particular file, you can use `dpkg --search <filename>':
+
+ $ dpkg --search /usr/bin/dselect
+ dpkg: /usr/bin/dselect
