You can use `apt-cache search mono` to show all related packages.
Mono is split into smaller packages like mono-mcs for the compiler and mono-assemblies-base (will become mono-classlib-1.0)
for the basic classlib.

The next Ubuntu release will feature dummy packages for mono and mono-devel, as actually searching for the package names seems
to constantly allude people.

In the future please do not direct user-level Ubuntu questions to Debian-hosted lists unless you have confirmed an issue on both sides.
