apt-cache regex question



 Hi  
apt-cache --names-only  search  '^a'  except from 
packages name started with 'a' (intented)  will also  give 
packages that they have a source file whos name starts with 
'a'. is that an error?


eg:
$apt-cache --names-only  search  '^a'
...
xul-ext-adblock-plus
...
 
$ apt-cache show xul-ext-adblock-pl
