I did never dealt explicitely with libicu but if I understood Karsten right it does not necessarily fail without it. It might just be that the result might show some unwanted differences (probably broken UTF-8 support??) if libicu is missing. So please find a sensible solution to make sure that everything will went smoothly. An extra Dependency is simple to resolve if this makes sure that the package installs as expected. I do not have any idea in how far the UTF-8 support in the initial package is important to make sure that the final package will feature proper UTF-8 support. If you want to be pretty sure just add it for this package which only serves the only purpose to create the final gtm package. > If that is correct, > I may need guidance on how to do (4).

BTW, after the failed installation I tried to purge the package from my system which ended up in a package which I can not deinstall using sudo dpkg --purge fis-gtm-initial I needed to manually edit /var/lib/dpkg/info/fis-gtm-initial.postrm to be able to deinstall fis-gtm-initial. So please if you verify the postinst also do not forget the postrm. Sometimes it really helps to add a `set -x` to those files to see what happens.
