Package: grep
Version: 2.5.3~dfsg-2
Followup-For: Bug #238237

Not only does "grep -P" not work, but the manual page says it will:

       -P, --perl-regexp
              Interpret  PATTERN as a Perl regular expression.  This is
highly
              experimental and grep -P may warn of unimplemented features.

$ grep -P "foo"
grep: Support for the -P option is not compiled into this
--disable-perl-regexp binary

I really hope bug #350468 gets fixed, so that debian grep can support the -P
option.
