This is confusing since there still seems to be support for Stretch.
Ideally, there should be close to no need for individual control and rules files,
after obsoleting Stretch (which even we have managed some 8 months ago!)

Adding libpcre2-dev, while leaving libpcre3-dev in, appeared to work.

I'll be on vacation starting in late July, so I'll probably be unable to respond
before mid-August.
There isn't much to be done (in particular with Stretch and Python2 being phased
out). X-Python3-Version >= 3.7, perhaps some lsb-release tricks, and the option
to build for i386 (who needs that?) on amd64 hardware...

Best,
