The pcre 7.3-2 changelog says:

   * Increased shlibdeps from 4.5 to 6.0. 6.0 introduced a new function
     (pcre_compile2) to the API, so anything using that requires at least
     6.0. (Closes #441345)

But etch already had pcre 6.7-1, so surely there's no reason to worry about
getting (>= 6.0) in the dependencies for this one library in particular in
unstable?

Thanks,
