That had actually been reported in 2022!
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1004726
apt(8) doesn't mention the 'autopurge' option
And this bug even mentions a merge request:
https://salsa.debian.org/apt-team/apt/-/merge_requests/263
But according to this merge request, it has not been added as it
an unofficial shortcut of "autoremove --purge". So, consider that
it does not exist yet.
