dpkg --get-selections

will show all installed packages, in alphabetical order. Probably not useful.

dpkg --get-selections|grep -- '-dev'

will show all -dev packages, which IS useful. Except on a system that
I run, in which case you still need to eyeball roughly two hundred
installed packages :D Hence my failure to find the one I wanted.
