Currently we have for Chinese:

Package: task-chinese-s-desktop
	fcitx,
	fcitx-sunpinyin,
	fcitx-googlepinyin,
	fcitx-table-wubi,
	fcitx-frontend-qt5,
	kde-config-fcitx
	im-config,


Package: task-chinese-t-desktop
	fcitx,
	fcitx-chewing,
	fcitx-table,
	im-config,


Simply replacing fcitx with fcitx5 in tasksel for Chinese apparently does not 
work, because there is - for example - no package "fcitx5-sunpinyin" in Bullseye,
while "fcitx5-chewing" is indeed existing in Bullseye.

So, there is more input needed, which package replaces which, and dealing with
dependencies, and so on.

Maybe, you could provide a patch for tasksel to deal with this issue?

Holger
