Debian grep does not link to libpcre:
$ ldd /bin/grep
linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb7ef4000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7d9a000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xb7ef5000
This is because libpcre is installed into /usr/lib/, which is not guaranteed
to be available at boottime (might be on a different partition), while
/bin/grep is an essential utility in init scripts and should be available at
all times.
