Does apt on 20.10 have a virtualbox package?

I see that apt install virtualbox virtualbox-dkms has worked on previous releases but on 20.10

 apt install virtualbox

 Package virtualbox is not available, but is referred to by another package.
 This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
 is only available from another source

E: Package 'virtualbox' has no installation candidate

apt search doesn't find anything like it.

http://packages.ubuntu.com can easily and authoritatively answer any is-package-X-in-the-Ubuntu-repositories question.

Note that Virtualbox is in the multiverse repository. Since your apt cannot locate the package, you likely do not have the repository enabled. Here's how to enable it
