Please always copy the list.

Had you bothered to look at the harfbuzz module in modulesets-stable/gtk-osx-bootstrap.modules you'd see that 
it's because icu is a soft dependency and that you need to specify it in your modules list. That's to 
accommodate building the webkit1 package that requires icu55, an older version of icu.
