That'd be 72.1-3ubuntu1, now ubuntu2 with this patch. This bug was
mostly for reference for the folks in the Ubuntu release team since
we're in feature freeze, almost at final freeze. I uploaded the fix
directly afterward. That's my bad, I should have been more explicit
about that :)

Given that icu is a regular in our FTBFS reports due to tzdata updates,
we might indeed end up doing so, but in general I'd rather adapt the
tests to the specificities of the distro than disable them altogether.
Thanks for the tip though, much appreciated!
