Comment (by bos):

 The {{{text}}} package does indeed need some work, and I'll write up what
 I think is needed some time in the next few days, time permitting.

 However, {{{text}}} doesn't have a dependency on ICU; that's confined to
 the {{{text-icu}}} package.  We might want to have pure Haskell
 equivalents of the functionality that {{{text-icu}}} provides, but that's
 a huge amount of thankless work.
