Debian Trixie has libicu76, but the deb package generated for PowerShell/PowerShell only supports libicu74 for now. This is the case even though PowerShell/PowerShell functions fine with libicu76. See PowerShell/PowerShell#25865 for more information. Until a new release is created, we use Debian's equivs package to install a dummy dependency for libicu74, which is sufficient to install PowerShell/PowerShell. When run, PowerShell/PowerShell will use the libicu76 dependency installed from the official Debian Trixie package repository.

When one installs mono-complete on Kali, apt now actually installs mono-devel.

This package has always just been there, but by explicitly installing it we ensure that is the case. Otherwise, PowerShell could get installed on Trixie with only the libicu74 dummy/equivs package. The ICU library is fairly fundamental, which probably explains why it was always "just there": https://unicode-org.github.io/icu/userguide/icu/ Co-authored-by: Nick M <[email protected]>

This also allows us to get rid of the equivs jazz added in #72, since the latest release (7.5.5) includes PowerShell/PowerShell#26792.
