Just so it is not forgotten:
Due to what Luiz posted the gtm package should probably
depend on libicu* somehow.
Just for the sake of interest: What is the exact sign for this
dependency? For final checking I'd recommend either a clean chroot
environment or alternatively `apt-get purge libicu48` and see whether
installation might fail.
[KSB] There are both philosophical and technical considerations with
respect to libicu.
GT.M can be installed either including or omitting support for Unicode /
ISO/IEC-10646 - it's the same GT.M binary distribution, but the
directories are slightly different. With GT.M, ICU is not needed to
support European language, as well as many non-European languages, but is
needed even for simultaneous support of multiple European languages
(e.g., German and Polish). One choice we have when packaging GT.M for
Debian is whether to recommend libicu or whether to require libicu.
While I would prefer to require libicu, the fact is that ICU support adds
bulk for someone who wants a minimal distribution. So, I am open to
persuasion either way.
With respect to the technical consideration, since one of the scripts
that is a standard part of GT.M (the "gtm" script) uses the "icu-config
--version" command and since icu-config is part of libicu-dev, I would
suggest making either a dependency on or a recommendation (depending on
the philosophical decision) based on libicu-dev rather than on a specific
libicu version.
