Bug description:
  Steps to reproduce:
  1. Have Ubuntu 20.04 LTS installed
  2. Open terminal, enter one of the commands below

  2a.     apt install brisk<Tab>
  2b.     apt source brisk-menu<Tab>
  2c.     apt-get install brisk<Tab>
  2d.     apt-get source brisk-menu<Tab>
  2e.     apt-cache policy brisk<Tab> 

  Expected results:
  * The bash-completion should not lead to package name as there are no binary packages named with starting part "brisk" (see https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&searchon=names&keywords=brisk )

  Actual results:
  * all commands below get completed to the name of source package - in this example named "brisk-menu"
  (see https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=all&section=all&arch=any&keywords=brisk&searchon=sourcenames). This is absolutely unexpected, as user can not really install this package in binary form.
