Of course, as René noted, the key difference is probably that 3.2.1-7ubuntu1
depends on libicu42 and 3.2.1-9 depends on libicu44.

I investigated the differences between the versions 4.2 and 4.4 of icu, in
particular in the directory “source/data/unidata/”. Support for parenthesis
seem to have changed while switching from Unicode 5.1 to 5.2. In particluar,
the right parenthesis and right square bracket, but not the right curly bracket
have been moved from a ‘Close_Punctuation’ (CL) to a ‘Close_Parenthesis’ (CP)
category. This completely fits with the symptoms that were also reported
to the openoffice bug tracker (http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=112240).

Do you this is enough to reassign this bug to the libicu44 package ?

Cheers,
