I think the main problem is that a lot of ICU utilities are not actually in the Ubuntu package. Or at least they were not when I last time looked. Some were bizarrely in libicu-dev. Compiling ICU directly from IBM's source was an extremely clean job when I did it a year or so ago. Never had so little difficulty compiling anything. But the difference is marked between that and teh run of teh mill Ubuntu package. I am not sure if this affects something, but bear it in mind. Another related matter - if size matters, I think it is relatively straight forward to cut out irrelevant aspects from ICU. I have seen a couple of articles on that.
