signon-ui fails to build because libicu not available during build (Qt 5.2)

[Timo Jyrinki]

See a rebuild log at:

https://launchpadlibrarian.net/168221639/buildlog_ubuntu-trusty-amd64.signon-ui_1%3A0.15%2B14.04.20131024.2-0~123%2B201403031253~ubuntu14.04.1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz

Needs libicu-dev added to Build-Depends? No other packages seem to have the problem (https://launchpad.net/~canonical-qt5-edgers/+archive/qt5-beta2/+packages?batch=75&memo=75&start=75)

Maybe the dependency is brought in by QtWebKit 1, which probably is not being used by other packages which build fine.
I think that adding the package to the build-dependencies will fix the error.

Seems to work (amd64 so far):

https://launchpad.net/~canonical-qt5-edgers/+archive/qt5-beta2/+sourcepub/3952779/+listing-archive-extra

Please approve the branch. I added it already to http://pad.ubuntu.com/qt52-dependencies so it can land together with Qt 5.2 via CI Train.

We recently had to fix an ICU runtime issue in Cordova, which was caused
by an uncontrolled import of the latest ICU version from Debian.

I think the plan defined was to stay with ICU while we were on Qt 5.0.2
but switch to using Qt functions with 5.2, and thus drop using ICU.

Can that plan apply to signon-ui as well?

signon-ui is not calling any ICU functions. I suspect that the dependency is brought in by WebKit1.
