If I understand correctly, upstream chose to disable ibus feature

Reverting that feature choice is one option for Debian maintainer
can do indeed. This is a risky path most maintainers hesitate.
Yeah, this isn't something I would patch.
Fair enough. And given that, it would not be appropriate to bypass the
restrain in Debian via im-config.
Since kitty has kitty.conf, a non-confrontational approach may be a
patch to add one configuration option in kitty.conf to enable ibus.
So ibus support is still opt-in feature.
That sounds like a reasonable approach, if someone would like to
propose a patch/PR to Kovid. I'm not familiar with IME topics, so I
don't think I would be in a good position to advocate for that.
Seems like that has already been proposed and turned down:
https://github.com/kovidgoyal/kitty/issues/3206
So maybe users who want IME support in kitty need to get used to set
that environment variable.
