Thanks to both of you!

The tab is helpful for completing the package names just the way you did: typing the beginning (e.g. xbmc) and examining all matching packages via tab. Then you can either use the wildcard '*' for selecting all packages or entering exact package names.
when installing already downloaded packages (residing in /var/cache/apt or anywhere else) you can examine the complete filename with a tab. Helpful in case there is more than one version downloaded. In this case you need the exact version for installing.
