I was hesitant to mark 4f491bb6ea2a as the offending commit as it was
PERL5 and PCRE2 that decided to drop this functionality. The commit was
technically correct before this. However, you are right that this
impacts stable too and if it makes the backport process easier I'll add
the "Fixes:" tag and cc: stable as suggested.
