for sponsoring/consideration, it was discovered there is a Critical
level Policy Violation:

N: contrib.

By policy, non-free items cannot be in universe. This package meets
`multiverse` requirements.
However, also by policy, `universe` items are not allowed to depend /
build-dep on `multiverse` requirements, which breaks Unity and other
items necessary for the Unity flavor release.
Until such time that `nux` is fixed to NOT ship the Unicode Inc.
licensed items which fail DFSG at the minimum, **this policy violation
prevents Unity from being shipped or released**.
This is a Critical level issue in the package as this has gone unnoticed
for probably years, and now has been discovered and until such time
`libicu` or other implementations are substituted for the NUni.cpp code
requirements, or other tooling implementations are made available, this
blocks all `nux` package items in all releases for -proposed and should
also block any release of the Unity flavors as a result of policy
violations.
