I believe what your looking for is the wireless tools package. Search through the package manager database and you should find it.

Also remember that google is your friend. Any question that you ask in this forum type into google and most times the right answers come up.

You need to install the package wireless tools.
If you need deb file

No need to google as the apt tools allow you to search for stuff.

# apt-get install apt-file
# apt-file update
$ apt-file find bin/iwlist

I'm sure other package management systems have search-ability features. Some a bit more cryptic than others. And by no means the only way to find things in debian (or other apt based distros).
