Packages installation fails on debian 13 because of missing libpcre3-dev

Logs

# As per the documentation
sudo apt install libssl-dev libxml2-dev libyaml-dev libgmp-dev

libpcre3-dev Package 'libpcre3-dev' has no installation candidate

Additional context
This problem was reported by email.
Debian 13 does not ship the older libpcre3-dev anymore. We should try to migrate to the newer libpcre2-dev package (yes, the version naming is confusing) and see if anything breaks.
