Package: libselinux1 Version: 2.1.12-1 Severity: important Hi!
The version from experimental grew a new depedendency (libpcre3), and with libselinux1 being pseudo-essential itself, this means any new dependencies are going to be pulled into the pseudo-essential set too. I've just checked the git repository and it seems the code got switched from the glibc regex engine to pcre only for performance reasons (commit 091eb526dd2036d993517d09e4fc67b2bec3ec5e), so making the engine to use selectable at build time does not seem too difficult. Either that or if the dependency is really desirable then I think it would make sense to bring this up on debian-devel for discussion, even if the policy does not (currently) require it for packages in the pseudo-essential set, only for “Essential: yes” ones.
