Since Ubuntu sync most of the packages from Debian, I took a look there, and saw that icu version 1.53.1 has been packaged in Debian experimental. See https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/icu for more package information.

However, if you look under "testing migrations" on that page they are planning to transition to the new version. In practice this means that any package depending on icu in some way are rebuilt with the newer version to make sure they still work as expected with the newer version. See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=757025 for details.
