I'd like to upgrade the version of ICU from 4.8 to 52.  They changed
their version numbering scheme essentially multiplying everything by 10.
We skipped a few versions (49, 50, 51) because of the freeze before
wheezy.  This is the first major version to be released since Wheezy.
(A major ICU version is released every six months.)  ICU 52 should be
source compatible but not binary compile with ICU 4.8.  Many bugs have
been fixed since ICU 4.8.  I have basically done a library transition
approximately every other ICU version, and they have all gone smoothly
up to this point.  The dev package name is versionless (libicu-dev) so
this transition should be able to be done with just a forced rebuild of
ICU's reverse dependencies.

Ben file:

title = "icu";
is_affected = .depends ~ "libicu48" | .depends ~ "libicu52";
is_good = .depends ~ "libicu52";
is_bad = .depends ~ "libicu48";

libicu48 is no longer in testing, so this is all done.
