This bug was fixed in the package apt - 2.7.10
---------------
apt (2.7.10) unstable; urgency=medium
* pkgcachegen: Use placement new to construct header to make
valgrind happy when we hash/write out padding bytes
* Add Conflicts: apt-verify.
The APT team is very concerned about the encroachement of its
namespace and the impact on security of its file verification
process. We have expressed those concerns in the ITP bug, but
the package was nonetheless uploaded and accepted, so we have
to take this extraordinary step to protect our users.

Bug description:
The awesome apt has a some wonderful tips on their EXAMPLES section
(printed below). The choice of name to "garbage" might not have been
the best but the function is extremely useful.
$ man apt-patterns | sed '/EXAMPLES/,/^[^ ]/!d;/^[^ ]/d'
apt remove ?garbage
Remove all packages that are automatically installed and no longer
needed -
same as apt autoremove
apt purge ?config-files
Purge all packages that only have configuration files left
apt list '~i !~M (~slibs|~sperl|~spython)'
List all manually-installed packages in sections matching libs,
perl, or
python.
Lets mark a package as automatically installed, and use the examples.
$ sudo apt-mark auto shotwell
shotwell set to automatically installed.
$ sudo apt remove ?garbage

Abort.
Apt-patterns works as it should everywhere else, as far as I can see,
it works wonders with ie `apt list '~g|~c'` and many other
applications. I used `apt purge '~g|~c'` successfully in Ubuntu 20.04
for years, so I feel this is a regression.
