Dear maintainer,

Your package still depends on the old, obsolete PCRE library
(i.e. libpcre3-dev). This has been end of life for a while now, and
upstream do not intend to fix any further bugs in it. Accordingly,
the pcre3 library is being removed from Debian.

The newer PCRE2 library was first released in 2015, and has been in
Debian since stretch. Upstream's documentation for PCRE2 is available
here: https://pcre.org/current/doc/html/

The dependency seems to be unused, so it should be fine to drop it.

This is an add-on to the mass bug filing that was discussed on debian-devel
in https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2021/11/msg00176.html
