Only on Live session, mozc-utils-gui is not essential. ibus-mozc works without mozc-utils-gui (and without japanese language pack). If mozc-utils-gui isn't installed, just indicator of ibus-mozc doesn't show menus related mozc-utils-gui (e.g. "Character Palette" menu). I think that almost users who would like to customize input method by mozc-utils-gui, install ubuntu first and then exec mozc-utils-gui and customize input method. However if there are users who live in 'live' session, they will expect that mozc-uitls-gui is installed on live session. But I think these users are very rare case. On non-live session, mozc-utils-gui needs to be installed for Japanse Input Method users. Many Japanese users customize keymap style (MS-IME like or ATOK like, and so on...), customize romaji table, add/edit user's dictionary... Could this be automatically done by ubiquity and language-selector as like language-pack? My conclusion: * dropping mozc-utils-gui from 'live' is acceptable. * mozc-utils-gui should be installed non-live session with out-of-the-box.
