Making these system tasks to install 
GTK:
  ibus-gtk, 
  ibus-gtk3, 
QT:
  ibus-qt4, 
  libqt5gui5
certainly works.

But considering many system has GTK and QT tools installed, changing
ibus:

NOW:
Recommends: ibus-gtk | ibus-qt4 | libqt5gui5,
            ibus-gtk3 | ibus-qt4 | libqt5gui5,
            im-config

REVISED:
Recommends: ibus-gtk,
            ibus-gtk3,
            ibus-qt4,
            im-config,
            libqt5gui5

This seems to be better choice.

Let me ask Debian devel first.  This is because, this will cause to
install many QT libraries to pure GNOME system.
