It looks to me like the pcre3 dependency in the terminus package is entirely due to its use of valac and other build support. There doesn't appear to be any direct use, except in a build dependency.
If I remove that build dependency, libpcre3-dev is still pulled into the build environment, due to its being a transitive requirement. So as a matter of policy, can I just remove the build dependency and close this bug and relax, even though the actual executable still ends up linked against libpcre3? Seeing as how that needs to be fixed in some other package...
