Fine! I rebuilt xerces25 localy and it did build and link as expected,
however I did no serios testing with it. You can find my packages on 

deb http://people.debian.org/~blade/experimental/ ./

Please test them troughout and report results. However, since my package
are not going remove the old libicu* packages, I will upload it anyways.

Regards,
Eduard.
