Package: libicu-dev Version: 57.1-6 Followup-For: Bug #837898 Dear Maintainer,
I have checked all 19 reverse dependencies of libicu-dev. Only one package (fis-gtm-6.3-000a) uses icu-config, and even then, it is only used if detected during configure. If not present, the configure script works around this, so it could be easily adjusted to use pkgconfig instead. Taking this into consideration, it is now safe (and reasonable) to remove icu-config from the package and restore multi-arch support. This, in turn, allows libxml2-dev to be installed for multiple architectures simultaneously and greatly benefits the Wine project. As things stand, not having multi-arch support in libicu-dev is a serious blocker for many projects. So let's move forward and resolve this bug. :-)
