Indeed, both were depending on scim-tables-additionnal. On the other hand, several other language tasks do Recommend some scim-<something> package. Most often, obviously for complex (to input) languages. So, as a safe change, I did not drop the dependency but turned it into a Recommends. I however wonder what alternative should be offerred for language tasks that were using SCIM. I guess there is a preferred input method for them? Would you indeed mind looking at the entire debian/control file for tasksel and make recommendations for input methods depending on languages. I bet you're a much better specialist than me or other tasksel maintainers...:-)
