A little comment on this: I am okay with apt(8) no longer accepting regex or wildcards (which is still unfortunately a feature that I use every day) since the CLI interface volatility is well announced. I also understand the reason behind this move. However, I saw that there's plan to let apt-* stop accepting them as well after Bullseye release, according to the NEWS file (v1.9.6 NEWS). Please avoid this, or at least implement in a backward-compatible way (e.g., letting the user explicitly specify that they are using regex, apt-patterns or string with wildcard in the input via cmdline options; the default format is considered to be the fallback format/behavior). I saw countless scripts using this feature and the outcome of feature removal would be catastrophic. -- Thanks, Boyuan Yang
