I have no idea what is to be done here, but Tim mentioned that on bug 45596 comment 14, and if it's actually necessary, it has to be documented somewhere so I don't have to explain to every wiki separately why they can't have their collations yet.
When you change the ICU version, you have to rebuild all the sort keys for wikis that use uca-* collations, with updateCollation.php --force. Lucid has ICU 4.2, and precise has 4.8, so when the upgrade to precise was in progress, Faidon built a custom php5-intl compiled against ICU 4.2. The upgrade to precise is now complete, so the next task is to remove the custom php5-intl package and run updateCollation.php --force on the uca-* wikis. The fewer wikis that have to be treated this way, the easier it will be. And migrating wikis to uca-* at this stage is wasted effort, since the results of running updateCollation.php on ICU 4.2 will need to be thrown away within a day or two.
Just a note that I asked Reedy and this is happening right now, and will be done in a few days tops.
Per your IRC ping, all the processes Tim was running have now been completed

Tim, can this be closed now, then? And can we proceed with further UCA collations deployments? :) (particularly those makred as depending on this change)
Yes, those deployments can continue.
