Thanks for updating 604471 with additional information and for making your case as to the severity of the bug. I am certainly happy to apply the patch and upload, but only the release team can make the decision as to whether the change will get into squeeze. It's very late right now, so they will have to be convinced that it is a release-critical bug. If you upgrade the status of the bug from important to grave and justify this, I will upload a new version with the patch that reverts the change that introduced the problem and will request that the release team allow a freeze exception. They will either grant the freeze exception, or they will disagree with the classification of the bug. In the former case, you'll get the change in squeeze. In the latter case, the bug will be downgraded again back to "important", but you'll still get the fix in unstable/testing post squeeze. I fully expect ICU 4.6 to be released by the time squeeze is released (though one can never be sure). It seems from the comments on the bug that the bug is probably fixed for 4.6. I'm not sure whether 4.6 will ever be in debian. I wouldn't be surprised if 4.8 pre-releases are already in existence by the time the release is made and the freeze is lifted.
