OTOH the older libpcre is currently necessary due to dependencies such
as grep, and the packages say people should migrate to libpcre2. So IMO
it'd be reasonable to add a libpcre2 dependency, and respond to any
complaints by saying that if people want to remove a pcre library, they
should migrate the packages using the old version, so it could be
removed instead.

Keeping code using an up-to-date dependency disabled because other
packages haven't been updated seems backwards...
