I'm no haskell expert, but to me the dependency looks vestigal. Grepping
the source tree for "pcre" finds a mention in the misfortune.cabal
file but no mentions in the actual code, and there are no corresponding
binary dependencies.

In raspbian, I removed the reference from misfortune.cabel, removed the
build-dependencies on libghc-regex-pcre* and also (for unrelated reasons)
removed the build-dependency on ghc-doc. After doing so I was able to
successfully build the package.
