Comment 18 for bug 1636666

> There is one other issue: Debian's pcre2 isn't really using what I consider "best practice" packaging [specifically, it does not use source format 3.0 (quilt) ] which makes doing security updates more of a pain

That's tracked at https://bugs.debian.org/862425 (thanks for filing it!). I can look into preparing a patch for it if I get time, though no promises.
