Hello, looks like timbl uses directly icu
./configure.ac:AC_OSX_PKG( [icu4c] )
./configure.ac:PKG_CHECK_MODULES([ICU], [icu-uc >= 50 icu-io] )
But misses a build-dependency on libicu-dev.
Note: currently this is added via libxml2-dev, but this might change in the
future, libxml2 might loose icu support, or stop dragging it in (e.g. what was
done in Ubuntu devel release).
Golden rule to me looks to explicitly depend on it, to avoid issues in other
Debian releases, backports or in the future.
