Description: gptfdisk declares that it depends on icu but
according to the current README from upstream it does not:
=====================================
In addition, note these requirements:

* The ICU library (http://site.icu-project.org), which provides support for
Unicode partition names, is optional on all platforms except Windows, on
which it's not supported. Using this library was required to get proper
UTF-16 partition name support in GPT fdisk versions prior to 0.8.9, but
as of that version it should not longer be required. Nonetheless, you can
use it if you're having problems with the new UTF-16 support. This
library is normally installed in Linux and OS X, but you may need to
install the development headers (libicu-dev or something similar in
Linux; or the libicu36-dev Fink package in OS X). To compile with ICU
support, you must modify the Makefile: Look for commented-out lines that
refer to USE_UTF16, -licuuc, -licudata, or -licucore. Uncomment them and
comment out the equivalents that lack these lines.
====================================

I suggest removing icu from the depends array.

p.s. of course I verified that the binaries produced in fact do not link to libicu.
