 As others pointed out, this is documented at several places. In the
changelog of the package (build without icu-config)[1], ICU upstream
(the icu-config tool has been deprecated)[2] and in a bug report of
PyICU (please use pkg-config to detect icu)[3]. The latter also
reveals its the PyICU developer who don't want to use the new ICU
development location method (pkg-config).
On the other hand, PyICU is packaged and up-to date - you don't have
to install it via pip. But if you do, according to the PyICU
maintainer can use environmental variables to help its installation.
