Gunnar, the live CD seeds are a different thing from package dependencies.
It's a text file containing a list of packages that are preinstalled in the 
live CD, but the installer might decide not to include them in the installed 
system.

Ubuntu-mate has only fcitx-bin in its live CD seeds:
http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/seeds/ubuntu-mate.xenial/live
Upon installation, fcitx is removed, so the problem doesn't affect the 
installed system.

Ubuntu has a whole lot of fcitx related packages:
http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/seeds/ubuntu.xenial/live
Upon installation, those are removed.

Lubuntu and Xubuntu don't have fcitx in their seeds:
http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/seeds/lubuntu.xenial/live
http://people.canonical.com/~ubuntu-archive/seeds/xubuntu.xenial/live

Yet, as you said, lubuntu-desktop depends on fcitx so it's there in both
the live CD and the installed system.

On the other hand, xubuntu-desktop doesn't depend on fcitx, so it
doesn't have fcitx neither in the live CD nor in the installed system.


So if Martin wants fcitx to be there in the live CD, but not in the installed 
system for those that don't need it, I think he can just include the packages I 
mentioned in the seeds file.


But whatever ubuntu-mate decides to do with its seeds, fcitx-bin shouldn't 
break dead keys, it's another part of this issue that needs to be fixed.
Btw, by installing only fcitx-bin in a Xubuntu live CD or installation, the 
problem happens there as well.
