Title:
  dotnet command suggested as coming from dotnet-host package

Status in dotnet6 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in dotnet7 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in dotnet8 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On a box where dotnet is not installed, command-not-found will suggest
  `dotnet` as part of dotnet-host(7.0, 8.0), which is a package deep
  into the dotnet dependency tree that, if installed individually, does
  not yield a useful .NET installation, e.g.

  ```
  $ dotnet
  Command 'dotnet' not found, but can be installed with:
  sudo snap install dotnet-sdk       # version 7.0.402, or
  sudo apt  install dotnet-host      # version 6.0.121-0ubuntu1
  sudo apt  install dotnet-host-7.0  # version 7.0.110-0ubuntu1
  sudo apt  install dotnet-host-8.0  # version 8.0.0~rc1-0ubuntu1
  See 'snap info dotnet-sdk' for additional versions.
  ```

  Even though that is the package that includes the `dotnet` binary, the
  recommendation should be overridden to either the dotnet* virtual
  packages, dotnet-sdk-*, or dotnet-runtime-*.
