So e.g. on mantic:
jak@jak-t14-g3:~:master$ apt-get install python3.6 -s
NOTE: This is only a simulation!
apt-get needs root privileges for real execution.
Keep also in mind that locking is deactivated,
so don't depend on the relevance to the real current situation!
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Note, selecting 'libpython3.6-stdlib' for regex 'python3.6'
Note, selecting 'python3.6-2to3' for regex 'python3.6'
The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
gir1.2-totem-1.0 gir1.2-totemplparser-1.0 grilo-plugins-0.3-base
gstreamer1.0-gtk3 libgom-1.0-0 libgrilo-0.3-0 libportal-gtk3-1 libtotem0
totem-common
Use 'apt autoremove' to remove them.

E: Unable to locate package python3.6
E: Couldn't find any package by glob 'python3.6'
To get the same behavior in apt-get, pass -o APT::Cmd::Pattern-Only=yes to
apt-get. This is available since focal.
It may be reasonable to also disable glob expansion on dots by default
in apt, I don't know.

Title:
Unexpected behavior of apt
Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
I was trying to install python3.10 on Ubuntu 20.04 and was quite
surprised when x11 packages ended up installed. I think it was due to
the regex matching of apt.
