Would you have time to open a github issue at the upstream development repository so that discussions may take place there? We can later open a Debian bug report with bug forwarding information properly filled.Unfortunately, I don't have the capacity to open and drive an upstream issue or manage the cross repo discussions. However, the main concern now, if ibus-libbopomofo happens to be installed on a system, it still automatically enables itself by default for zh_TW users due to the current XML metadata. This brings back the same problem we just resolved with the package split. Since the root cause from a design limitation that might not be 100% resolvable by upstream, could we implement a downstream patch in Debian to drop the zh_TW locale mapping from the XML component file for now? This would immediately protect zh_TW users who have the package installed from experiencing a broken default behavior, while still leaving the engine fully functional on any locales for anyone who wants to manually enable it. If you prefer, we can track this as another Debian bug for the time being.
I still think diverging with upstream in key functionalities by carrying a patch indefinitely in downstream distros should be avoided. In the meanwhile, I doubt users will explicitly install non-default ibus-libbopomofo when other default selections already exist via tasksel; the potential damage has already been controlled to the minimum level by splitting out of ibus-libpinyin. You are welcome to discuss with upstream when you have free time, and please feel free to let me know when upstream makes important changes. Thanks, Boyuan
