AND there needs to be a xerces package with a libxercesicu1 binary package
that depends on libicu20 instead of libicu18 in unstable AND this xerxes
package must be ready to go into testing (no open RC bugs and waited it's
2/5/10 days and no other dependency problems) so that icu and xerces can
go into testing at the same time (testing otherwise refuses to upgrade icu
because it would make libxercesicu1 uninstallable in testing).
