Thanks for bringing my attention to this; I really have no idea how
I missed that over the past six years :/

I have added pcre2 support to the upstream repository of confget:

  
https://gitlab.com/confget/confget/-/commit/3be97f9b4095eeba8025a8d10908fcafedc1530b

I guess I shall release a new upstream version and then update
the Debian package in the next couple of days.

Thanks again for this and everything else you're doing for Debian, and
keep up the great work!

G'luck,
Peter
