I overlooked it was for 1.4.99. Ok, reopened.
1.5 series is gtk3 based so these may be needed.

Oh, aron, you did not remove old symbol file. OK.

I agree. experimental has pre 1.5 version. We are tracking different
upstream branches 1.4 for unstable and 1.5 for experimental.

I did not catch that. I never thought of .... interesting.

I disagree here.
I do not understand your big picture idea. Please explain why you think
"needs to depend on ibus".
If I add dependency as you suggested:
ibus depends on ibus-python
ibus-python depends on ibus
Now you are suggesting to create cyclic dependency. BAD !!!
Please google why it is BAD.

I do not know if you know something I do not and if you are suggesting
this with some reason. I am not sure your suggestion is based on some
good technical back ground and have bigger change across ibus family.
