Not very consistently though:
$ apt search penis | grep penis | wc -l

Can you please clarify what problem you see with these package names?
The results I get for this search are:
apt search penis | grep --color penis
Isn't penis the thing males hold in their hand when they urinate? Are we going
to exclude any term relating to fundamental biological functions in Debian? I
cannot believe I see this happening here.
As a (maybe already too old, for nowadays standards) biologist, I find this
upsetting that were are looking for this kind of silly things instead of doing
computer-related work.
