I agree these are very important bugs but I have different thoughts on how to address these and how to rate this bug. First, use of severity for this bug. According to https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Developer.en.html#severities seriousis -- a severe violation of Debian policy (roughly, it violates a must or required directive), or, in the package maintainer's or release manager's opinion, makes the package unsuitable for release. important -- a bug which has a major effect on the usability of a package, without rendering it completely unusable to everyone. Interfering with desirable configuration for the best live image shape made with least care is at best *important* bug. You can fix this as you wish by creating a customization package for live image using dpkg-divert on live image side. For now, maintainers of these packages can disable these functionality but that will introduce problems for the audiences of these convienience scripts. Let's get to the core of the problem: * im-config is not good enough as cross-platform IM initial set up infrastructure Here is my rant... Why didn't Ubuntu tool has been made cross desktop environment and integrated back to Debian Here is my thoght on the technical issues. * "Lack of cross-platform configuration of input method" * "Too many options for IM infrastructure * ibus, fcitx, uim used via XIM, QT-lib, GTK-lib (or via Wayland?) * classic X input method for some classic X environment (modern ibus include this functionality since Wayland doesn't offer this) * "Too many language-specific plugins which needs to be enabled via DBUS" * The offending script tries to address this gap. * Wayland and X * Some platform requires daemon for XIM and others not if they are using lib- based connection. im-config tries to address this gap. For mature Desktop like GNOME, it keeps its hand off. For others, it set environment variables and start daemon. For KDE, im-config may be best to act like GNOME case but hasn't been addressed after Gunnar (deceased) and I am not knowledgeable enough to work with this nor had time to study. https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=1052005 Also no active help from Desktop side.
