I would suggest libicu for Debian as Debian probably ships with libicu
in most configurations anyway. But that's something to check first.

However, Alexander is I think most experienced in the differences
between icu and unistring.

That is correct. You can also keep libicu and libenca enabled for
charset detection. In that case both will be used with a preference on
libicu.

The code is fairly easy to follow here:

You can indeed, and then both will be used.


Kind regards,
