Comment(by zbigniew):

 This change appears to be unnecessary.

 * dpkg-eggs.scm -- Claims dependency on regex, but actually has none; (use
 regex) can be removed.
 * make-eggdoc.scm -- Claims dependency on regex, but actually has none;
 (use regex) can be removed.
 * tools.scm -- Was already converted to irregex in 8a516a0425.
 * wiki2html.scm -- Also depends on htmlprag and matchable, so converting
 to irregex gains you nothing except verbosity.

 Overall, it seems that (use regex) was added to tools.scm just to provide
 string-match, but string-match is only used in wiki2html.scm, which
 already depends on regex.
