AFAICT, that variable is only used in the override_dh_auto_install to remove a LICENSE file:

override_dh_auto_install:
...
        # delete extra license file
        $(RM) $(CURDIR)/debian/tmp/usr/share/icu/$(l_SONAME).?/LICENSE
...

Since it was not bumped for the former transition, a new LICENSE file was added to libicu-dev, and is now being removed.
