Yoshio here.
If you are at https://packages.debian.org/stable , then look at the
"Kernels" section.  the kernel for AMD64 is:
linux-image-4.9.0-3-amd64

"jobs" is a bash shell built-in, type "type jobs", and it will give you
"jobs is a shell builtin".

If you install the package 'apt-file', you can search the database
for files.  typing "apt-file find /bin/kill" gives:
procps: /bin/kill
psmisc: /usr/bin/killall

so it shows the package name before the file names.
"aptitude show psmisc" shows "Automatically installed: yes", but the
package 'procps' is not automatically installed.
