Packages in main cannot recommend packages not in main even if you target
experimental.

I've been doing this for my packages (with s/pyicu/$somethingelse/ of 
course).



2. Recommends: python3-pyicu and target experimental


This should work, too.


3. This way:
http://raphaelhertzog.com/2010/09/27/different-dependencies-between-debian-and-ubuntu-but-common-source-package/


I don't see how is that better that 1 or 2. It hides the problem rather 
than fixing it.



4. ???


Ping the maintainer? #671361

Though that works only if you can predict the package name. And I 
believe the Ubuntu's choice of package name is wrong:

Do you plan on ensuring the package is coming soon? if yes, I would go
for that option, even if it is shortly introducing policy violations.
