Public bug reported:

When I installed `python3.11` package on Ubuntu 24.04 (I tried the official 
`ubuntu:24.04` Docker image for ease of reproducibility) and tried running 
`python3.11 -m venv /tmp/test`, I got the following error message:
```
The virtual environment was not created successfully because ensurepip is not
available.  On Debian/Ubuntu systems, you need to install the python3-venv
package using the following command.

    apt install python3.11-venv

You may need to use sudo with that command.  After installing the python3-venv
package, recreate your virtual environment.

Failing command: /tmp/test/bin/python3.11
```

This would be fine (and is expected on Debian-based systems) but I then tried 
running the `apt install python3.11-venv` command and have learned that there 
is no such package available in the 24.04 repositories:
```
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
Reading state information... Done
Package python3.11-venv is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package 'python3.11-venv' has no installation candidate
```
