Thanks for reporting. Took a look at the package content and changes. Looks like padsp was present in Ubuntu 23.10 [1] and then removed in 24.04 [2]. Which means something happened between versions 1:16.1+dfsg1-2ubuntu4 [3] 1:16.1+dfsg1-2ubuntu10 [4]
Checking the changelog between these two versions led me to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/1:16.1+dfsg1-2ubuntu8 which disabled padsp. though is short on details why. So there might be other issues which should be resolved before it can be re-enabled. Regardless, now that it is disabled, looks like additionally: * the package still contains bash completions for the binary even though it isn't included [2} * the database for command-not-found doesn't seem to have been updated after the binary was removed. It probably should to reflect which binaries exists and are offered by the package.
