I've seen the wget debian change, but just switching builddeps from pcre3-dev 
to pcre2-dev and rebuilding isn't enough. The package ends up not finding pcre 
and doesn't enable it:
checking for PCRE... no
checking pcre.h usability... no
checking pcre.h presence... no
checking for pcre.h... no
...
  Libs:              -luuid -lidn2 -lnettle -lgnutls -lz -lpsl 

So while the package builds, it's not using pcre.

I tried to switch apache, and while I could make it find pcre2-config and use 
it, pcre2 has different libraries than pcre3:
pcre3-config --libs: -lpcre
pcre2-config --libs: no such parameter

In pcre2, we have --libs8, --libs-posix, --libs32 and --libs16, but no
--libs. Is this a bug in pcre2-config?

Any quick tips about this before I dig in further?

Bug description:
  demotion of pcre3 in favor of pcre2. These packages need analysis what
  needs to be done for the demotion of pcre3:

  Packages which are ready to build with pcre2 should be marked as
  'Triaged', packages which are not ready should be marked as
  'Incomplete'.

  aide
  apache2
  apr-util
  clamav
  exim4
  freeradius
  git
  glib2.0
  grep
  haproxy
  libpam-mount
  libselinux
  nginx
  nmap

  postfix
  python-pyscss
  quagga
  rasqal
  slang2
  sssd
  wget
  zsh

  ------

  For clarification: pcre2 is actually newer than pcre3.  pcre3 is just
  poorly named (according to jbicha).
