I also talked with the current fcitx upstream author just now, and here are some hints: * When we are talking about fcitx, we are talking about fcitx5 by default. The fcitx4 series is in heavy maintenance mode and unlikely to be updated anymore. * Fcitx4 already provided many table-based input methods for zh_TW users, see https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/fcitx-table-extra . I don't know whether they are enough for zh_TW users. * For fcitx5, the corresponding package is currently stuck in the NEW queue: https://ftp-master.debian.org/new/fcitx5-table-extra_5.1.0-1.html . Since you are now at debconf, is there any $offline methods that can accelerate its clearing over the NEW queue? It has been a problem for quite a while. * If there are any zh_TW input methods for fcitx5 floating around the internet but missing in Debian and people need them, please don't hesitate to let all of us know. We can do the packaging. Currently I am not aware of any of them. Same rule applies to IBus or any other input method framework. * Please consult more zh_TW users on the potential switch of the default input method framework. I believe Wayland support would be a headache. However, I have no knowledge about Wayland support status for other IM frameworks except for ibus/fcitx5. Thanks, Boyuan Yang
