Unfortunately, even with the (equivalent, I believe, of) your patch
applied, a build with autopkgtest checking enabled still fails, so I
guess that you proposed your patch without testing its outcome (which
is perfectly fine - bonus points if you'd mentioned that, though), and
I am staying with the more invasive solution by Peter Green of
considering it meaningless to test this crate without any form of regex
enabled.

Thanks for filing the bug and proposing a patch, regardless of outcome,

 - Jonas
