When looking at the Makefile, I see things like this in the
CXXFLAGS and LIBS: "### or --detect-prefix"

This seems to come from running icu-config:
$ icu-config --cppflags
### icu-config: Can't find /usr/lib32/libicuuc.so - ICU prefix is wrong.
###      Try the --prefix= or --exec-prefix= options
###      or --detect-prefix
### icu-config: Exitting.

While it should return something like:
-D_REENTRANT -I/usr/include

This seems be a bug in libicu36-dev, so reassigning.  libicu-dev 3.8
from experimental doesn't have this problem, even though
/usr/lib32/libicuuc.so isn't present either.  And there is no reason it
should be.
