[Bug 1164252] Re: Improve default selection of IBus related packages
Thanks for saying that, Anthony. Actually, just installing the zh_CN
language is sufficient, since also language-selector pulls in ibus-
sunpinyin. Then I conclude that we have agreed to stop seeding ibus-
pinyin.
As regards ibus-qt4 there is an obstacle not related to archive space:
The ibus-qt source package is currently in universe, and seeded packages
must be in main.
Aron Xu or Xiaojun Ma or somebody else: Could you please file a MIR bug against ibus-qt, where you explain why ibus-qt4 should be seeded.

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.
