It's possible that it's more a problem of how they are doing it: the
specific version is coming from a dependency rather than the library
itself. The results are surprising, so I figured it's worth a report.
Let's see what they say.
Regardless, even if they did make a change, it's not going to help us
anytime soon. We can't rely on any scheme that involves multiple minor
versions for a single major version being installed at once. That means
that, if you create a collation depending on ICU X.Y, and then it gets
upgraded to X.(Y+1), and you create another collation depending on that
library version, you are stuck.
