Yay!  :-)

'dpkg -L' is exactly what I use when I'm trying to locate the 'binary'
to run a program when I can't find it.

Note though that it only works if you *already have the program
installed*, so to check the same thing if you *don't* have the program
installed, you can use the 'apt-file' utility.  Typically you would
first install 'apt-file':
  apt-get install apt-file
  (or use aptitude or synaptic instead if you prefer)
then run
  apt-file update
  (apt-file will pull in package information from a mirror)
and then you are ready to display files contained in a package, e.g.
  apt-file show gtamsanalyzer.app
The reverse of this (find the package to which a file belongs) would be:
  apt-file search GTAMSAnalyzer
