I recently modified the ICU packages to build 32-bit libraries, in
addition to 64-bit libraries, on amd64 and a few other 64-bit
platforms since this was needed by wine.  Although the library isn't
present on 3.8 d1 in experimental, it is present on the real 3.8
packages which I have had ready to upload for a month but have been
holding off until the boost transition finishes.

I don't know why webkit is trying to use the 32-bit libraries to begin
with, but I guess it looks like icu-config --cppflags is at fault.
I'll try to fix this.  The problem is that I don't have access to an
amd64 system.  According to db.debian.org/machines.cgi, pergolesi is
supposed to be one, but if I check there (from dchroot sid):

> pergolesi% dpkg-architecture 
> DEB_BUILD_ARCH=i386
> DEB_BUILD_ARCH_OS=linux
> DEB_BUILD_ARCH_CPU=i386
> DEB_BUILD_GNU_CPU=i486
> DEB_BUILD_GNU_SYSTEM=linux-gnu
> DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE=i486-linux-gnu
> DEB_HOST_ARCH=i386
> DEB_HOST_ARCH_OS=linux
> DEB_HOST_ARCH_CPU=i386
> DEB_HOST_GNU_CPU=i486
> DEB_HOST_GNU_SYSTEM=linux-gnu
> DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE=i486-linux-gnu

Am I missing something?  Anyway, if I can get access to an amd64
machine, I can try to fix this once and for all.
