Severity: serious

Hello, looks like timblserver uses directly icu, as said in other bug reports 
already :)

./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.
