I think Debian does not use -devel for development package (I think
it's used in RPM). But anyway, if you're looking for the -dev version
of libpcre, it should be libpcre3-dev. Otherwise, debian package
search should be useful enough to look for the right package:

http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=libpcre&searchon=names&suite=stable&section=all

(The above link searches for libpcre keyword in etch.)
