--- Comment #3 from Galen Charlton <gmcharlt at gmail.com> ---
I've also had issues getting Text::Unaccent to install on RedHat-like distros. 
That said, at the moment Text::Unaccent::PurePerl is not packaged for Debian or
Ubuntu.

It is also (presumably) slower than Text::Unaccent, although given that
unac_string() is used only when registering a new patron, I don't speed matters
much here.

I'd like to suggest an alternative way to get the job done - use
Unicode::Normalize, which is already a Koha dependency:

If we do that, we can drop the dependency on Text::Unaccent entirely.
