Note the remark ", including virtual package names." in the manpage.
bindgen-0.65 has a "Provides: bindgen" (with a version), so it has
(also) the virtual package name "bindgen" and that perfectly matches
your regex. So, working as intended & documented and hence I am changing
the status to opinion (could be a question, but I don't seem to have the
rights to do that)
** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Opinion
