(... and libpcre & libpcre2 are not ABI compatible.) I suggest just hard depending on libpcre2 given it's The Future. Noticed when going over some libpcre deps and making sure they're still valid.
there is no runtime dependency in postfix for pcre and pcre2 and all bets are off if we change the ground under a running program. replacing libpcre with libocre2 seems like a really bad idea. but in any case, I'll change the dependency to hard coded pcre2 in the next release
