Description

Install the dependencies required for Debian, then run asdf install php 7.0.33 and meet with the following error:

```
checking for icu-config... no
checking for location of ICU headers and libraries... not found
configure: error: Unable to detect ICU prefix or no failed. Please verify ICU install prefix and make sure icu-config works.
```

Not sure where to go from here. 😕

Research direction

Start by reproducing `asdf install php 7.0.33` on Ubuntu 20.04 under WSL2 after installing the Debian dependencies, then inspect whether `icu-config` is installed and discoverable. Done means identifying a supported dependency or configuration path that allows PHP 7.0.33 to install, or documenting the incompatibility and required workaround.
