Bug Description
Binary package hint: ding
The agrep package needs to be installed, otherwise the "number of allowed errors" menu item is greyed out, and no approximate matches can be found.
"The 'Recommends' field should list packages that would be found together with this one in all but unusual installations".

There was always a "Suggests: agrep" field. Since agrep was "non-free" before a "Recommends" was not possible in Debian.
Since 1.8.1-4 (available since focal) support for tre-agrep was added and "Recommends: tre-agrep" was configured.
Since 1.9-2 (available in hirsute) "Recommends: glimpse (>= 4.18.7-6) | tre-agrep" is set, where glimpse (>= 4.18.7-6) contains agrep (nowadays free software).
