You can see the contents of a package by:

    $ dpkg -L package-name

I often do this and grep or look for files in bin/, etc/, man/, etc. directories to get a "jump-start" on what a package contains. All packages should put a directory under /usr/share/bin/ containing README files, changelogs, sometimes examples and other documentation.
