Why executable not installed when ros package is installed through apt-get install?

I was using teleop-twist package to control my robot till yesterday. Today when I tried to run the teleop-twist package, rosrun fails by showing no executable found inside the package. When I roscd to the package location, there is no teleoptwistkeyboard.py file. I removed the package using apt-get remove and re installed using apt-get install. Still python file is not present inside the package.

this probably took you to /opt/ros/noetic/share/[package_name].

That directory does not contain any binaries.

The binaries are located in /opt/ros/noetic/bin and /opt/ros/noetic/lib/[package_name].
