  Mark, please don't use that patch. The libpcre3 package ships both a C
  library and a C++ library, and only the C++ one is affected by this
  libstdc++ change. Given the high number of libpcre3 reverse
  dependencies (116), it's very unadvisable to rename the whole package.
  The right course of action would be to ship the C++ library in a
  separate package, so that in can be independently renamed in further
  transitions.

  Mark, please let us know if you'll be able to fix this bug yourself in
  the next days, so that other libraries depending on libpcre3 can
  transition themselves. If not, I'll prepare a patch an upload unless
  you indicate otherwise.

  Cheers,
