Agree, it seems it's the feasible option currently.
But we need to add some new packages, task-<lang>-gnome-desktop, for
languages which prefer non-ibus.
Which are:
1. task-amharic-gnome-desktop, *maybe NEW*, I didn't find amharic for ibus?
2. task-chinese-s-gnome-desktop, *NEW*, probably ibus-libpinyin
3. task-chinese-t-gnome-desktop, *NEW*, probably ibus-chewing
4. task-kannada-gnome-desktop, *NEW*, probably ibus-m17n
5. task-malayalam-gnome-desktop, *maybe NEW*, I didn't find malayalam for ibus?
6. task-telugu-gnome-desktop, already has, probably ibus-m17n
7. task-japanese-gnome-desktop, already has, patch in #983653
@Release Team, could you look at this? It's OK for these new packages.
