el-get in Emacs "No Match"?

Demonstrating this problem on 20.04:

sudo apt install el-get

Run emacs, hit Meta+x and type el-get-install

Get "No Match".

Attempt to solve it:

Run dpkg -l on el-get and observe that there is a start script in /etc/emacs/site-start.d/50el-get.el, which suggests that there is a global configuration that allows emacs to run el-get start scripts.

So why is the script not loaded ("No Match")?

Update:

I switched to melph and installed the desired package that way.
