Thanks Bastian,

I should have some time this week to look at this.  My plan is to:

* contact the author/maintainer of haskell-regex-pcre to see what the status is 
(there is an open github issue from years ago)
* if the author is no longer interested in the project, fork a new 
haskell-regex-pcre2 package depending on libpcre2
* upload the new package to Hackage (the Haskell library repo)
* package it for Debian
* Work with upstream to make haskell-regex depend on haskell-regex-pcre2 
instead (probably requires new major version as this would likely constitute an 
API change)

Kind regards,
Pete
