not sure if this what you mean, but:

apt-cache search <regex>

will list packages that you can get via apt-get, where <regex> is a regular

How about the equivalent of this but for a package that is not
installed?  Now that would really interest me a lot!

P.S.  Yes, I know I could just install whatever and then remove it
later, but that's not what I'm looking for.
