Hello,
If the new upstream indeed required a soname change upgrading would
need to be done in a organized manner (either a staging area with all
depending packages or keeping libpcre3 in oldlibs with a new
source-package.) - Pcre has frozen packages (exim4) as reverse
dependencies. However none of the versions from 3.4 to 4.5 required a
soname change. ;-)
