Apart from that they aren't here. * While everything in the archive builds, new software build in a jhbuild doesn't. Jhbuild is used to build large scale upstream projects and many developers choose to run last stable release & do their development there. Hence it should be supported. [Test Case] $ pkg-config --list-all | grep icu- icu-i18n icu-i18n - International Components for Unicode: Internationalization library icu-uc icu-uc - International Components for Unicode: Common and Data libraries icu-io icu-io - International Components for Unicode: Stream and I/O Library icu-le icu-le - International Components for Unicode: Layout library icu-lx icu-lx - International Components for Unicode: Paragraph Layout library * Above command should succeed with output shown. * Other tests are compiling & linking icu-* using pkg-config as for example done by harfbuzz [Regression Potential] * If some piece of software in quantal used auto-detection of icu-* based on pkg-config files, it means in quantal-release & quantal-security it will continue to build without linking icu; but in an SRU it will pick up linking against icu. In practice, we need check that libicu-dev rdepends do not do so. That would be sufficient, because all our builds are done in minimal / clean chroots.
