Pulling in ibus-qt4 should save users lot of troubles. It depends on
some core Qt4 libs though, would this be a problem?

Full disclosure/利申: I use fcitx and fcitx-libpinyin on my "production"
13.10 boxes. Keyboard-indicator and IBus in trusty begin to be kind of
usable.

Title:
  Improve default selection of IBus related packages

Status in Ubuntu Kylin:
  Fix Released
Status in “ubuntu-meta” package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Currently we have:

  """
  Input methods:

   * (im-config)
   * (ibus)
   * (ibus-gtk3)
   * (ibus-table)
   * (ibus-pinyin)
   * (ibus-pinyin-db-android)
  """

  This is suboptimal in many ways.
  1. ibus-gtk should be included, since we have notable GTK2 applications like Firefox and LibreOffice.
  2. ibus-table doesn't provide a working input method by itself, it needs at least one of ibus-table-* package to work.
  3. ibus-pinyin is useful for only limited set of people; even Simplified Chinese language support defaults to ibus-sunpinyin while UbuntuKylin and LinuxDeepin (a noteable Ubuntu-based distro in China) switch to Fcitx altogether.

  The conclusion is that the real workhorse IBus related packages would be pulled by language support.
  For meta package like ubuntu-desktop, we either leave a barebone IBus (ibus, ibus-gtk, ibus-gtk3) or remove IBus altogether.
