Title:
  Dubious output when using regex with apt-cache search

Status in apt package in Ubuntu:
  Opinion

Bug description:
  In a noble VM, I wanted to search only for bindgen package, so I tried
  the following:

  $ apt-cache search ^bindgen$
  bindgen - Automatically generate Rust FFI bindings to C and C++ libraries
  bindgen-0.65 - Automatically generates Rust FFI bindings to C and C++ libraries

  Why is bindgen-0.65 listed? $ should match with the EOL (man page does
  indeed refer to regex(7)).
