I don't know in this case. But here is how to find out:

- for official packages, search on packages.debian.org (tip: load
  http://packages.debian.org/<likelypackagename> as a shortcut for searching
  for <likelypackagename>)
- for unofficial packages, look at the Packages.gz file. Example:
  <http://security.debian.org/dists/stable/updates/main/binary-i386/Packages>

Do you have a System.map file coresponding to your kernel version?
