 Hi!
 ICU isn't building in Quantal.  The same bug appears to be fixed in debian, 
 see
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/icu/+bug/1037715
 and it seems like it's time to merge a new version.
 

The package is in sync with debian, so actually you want to do a sync
request.

You can perform sync requests with $ request-sync tool.

 'bzr log' says
 committer: Package Import Robot package-imp...@ubuntu.com
 ...
 committer: Package Import Robot package-imp...@ubuntu.com
 ...
 committer: Package Import Robot package-imp...@ubuntu.com
 

It says that for every single revision, of every package that get
uploaded into ubuntu archive. It might not say that, if the developer
chose to commit to the branch instead of letting the package importer do
it instead.

 so I gather the robot usually does the import, and the robot's page
 says to discuss it here.
 

Other way around, people upload into the archive  importer notices it
and creates a branch. Branches are not authoritative, the archive is.

 The freeze just started, though, and I hear this means no more
 robotic merges.
 

The freeze started for precise 12.04.1 release. The freeze for
Quantal is next week.

There are no robotic merges. There are autosyncs from debian.

 What's the right thing to do here (remembering that I'm an outsider,
 barely aware of Ubuntu or Debian processes)?
 

The right thing to do is to follow this:

As it turns out, the problem was purely that I was following the bzr workflow,
and that has failed in this case.  See
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/icu/+bug/1037715

If I had used 'apt-get source', I would have not run into the problem.

This has been an education!
