It is absolutely essential that this patch squeezes past the Squeeze freeze. OO.o / LibO is one of the critical components for the desktop, and the rendering issues caused by the bug renders OO.o / LibO practically useless for people using Malayalam. This has been working well in previous versions of Debian / OO.o / LibO, and it will be extremely disappointing for users to find the problem arising now. While personally, I can wait till the next version of ICU enters testing, that is because I use Sid, and know reasonably well my way around Debian. I would rather that the Squeeze freeze is freeezed till this is fixed. -- Mahesh T.
