This is currently working as designed. * works, specifying an explicit package name should work (but is currently broken, see bug 565364). Specifying part of the package name plus a wildcard is currently unsupported. There is an RFE ticket open in Debian for several years, don't hold your breath for a fix: http://bugs.debian.org/121132.
