Package: grep
Version: 2.5.1.ds2-4
Severity: normal

Once again, the -P flag to use a perl expression is not compiled in by default:

$ grep -P <pattern>
 grep: The -P option is not supported


If default debian package grep for whatever reason no longer supports the -P 
flag by default and requires recompile from deb source packages in order to be 
linked to libpcre3, please state so in debian changelog.

Thank you.
