Package: libpcre2-8-0 Version: 10.36-2 Severity: minor On my system I have the 8/16/32 bit versions of the pcre2 library installed. The discription only tells me that this is the 8-bit runtime version. But I have no idea why I/anyone would want a 8-bit runtime on my 64-bit machine, where I'd normally expect (only) a 64-bit version, which apparently, doesn't exist.
Can the long description field (f.e.) be expanded to explain *why* I or anyone else would want to install the 8 bit version and not the 16 or 32 bit ones? The same goes for the 16 and 32 bit versions. Right now, it only duplicates the info from the short description.
