Public bug reported:

(I am the debian maintainer of ICU)

Ubuntu trusty still has ICU 4.8, which is pretty old and has lots of
bugs that have been fixed in the current release, 52.1.  Debian has
completed its transition to ICU 52.1.  I don't plan on uploading any new
upstream versions of ICU prior to the release of Ubuntu 14.04.  It would
be great both for security and functionality reasons if 14.04 LTS would
ship with 52.1 instead of 4.8.1.  It looks like your delta is small.  If
adding the same change to the debian version of the package is not
incorrect for debian and would help you, I have no problem with making
the change.  Either let me know here or file an issue in the debian BTS.
Thanks.
