You can search for it with these commands - that is, if "aptitude" and/or "apt-file" are installed (which they are not, by default, but the packages providing these commands are called "aptitude" and "apt-file"):
aptitude search ntpsec-ntpdate apt-file search ntpsec-ntpdate
Ok, this was a copy&past error. You can search for the package containing a cerain file with apt-file, not aptitude:
$ apt-file search ntpdate-debian ntpsec-ntpdate: /usr/sbin/ntpdate-debian ntpsec-ntpdate: /usr/share/man/man8/ntpdate-debian.8.gz

You know, it occurs to me that there are many on this list who would advise that everybody without exception ought to use aptitude instead of apt-get.
Oh yes ... but I would suggest to use both (ugh, heresy, light the torches, get the forks!). Especially when you do some interesting stuff - like upgrading from beowulf to daedalus 'cause you forgot chimera and you are already knee deep in semifluid brown stuff ...
Indeed, I was going to say this earlier, and held my tongue,
Some of us old guys are used to apt-get, but this might be a good move, as it will basically do it all for you, and could possibly give you more information, if not actually resolve your issues by some automagical method, inscrutable to us mortals.
The resolver is what makes me use both - each one has it's ups and downs and both work in general very reliable as long as you are not too creative :)
