Indeed, I did not consider bootstrapping on Debian derivatives.

For now I have dropped the generation of utf8proc_data.c, which is
really not needed for the Debian packaging. Ideally, one could
select a build profile which performs this additional check.

dpkg supports build profiles [1] since version 1.17.14, but none
of the allowed profiles is applicable to this case. In particular,
the build profile would have to be inclusive (<check>) rather than
exclusive (<!nocheck>), since it should be activated when building
manually and deactivated when building automatically with buildd.

If you have no further concerns, utf8proc is ready for upload.
