disclosure:
I am one of the upstream maintainers of chewing, ibus-chewing, and
package maintainer of fonts-noto-cjk.
* For task-chinese-t-desktop, I think both ibus, or fcitx5 are good for
me. Since I use ibus-chewing, I do prefer to use ibus-chewing as
default.
* I don't think we need so many input methods in task-chinese-t-desktop.
User normally uses only one input method for Chinese. I think we shall
keep only chewing here, and let user decides what they want to install
by themselves.
* I think we can also remove fonts-arphic-* from Suggestions since we
already have fonts-noto-cjk in Recommends.
