Also open source stuff should be gradually moving over to pcre2, eventually ending up with libpcre.so being for binary packages exclusively in due time anyways.

But it covers all proprietary software that targets and tests stuff working on Debian/Ubuntu (which is the majority of cases, sadly). Mart
