It has been working well previously that the choice of input method is decided by src:tasksel package. Please see all the all the task-*-desktop packages: + fcitx is recommended by task-telugu-desktop, task-malayalam-desktop, task-kannada-desktop, task-chinese-t-desktop, task-chinese-s-desktop, task-amharic-desktop. + uim is recommended by task-japanese-desktop. + ibus is recommended by task-tamil-gnome-desktop, task-korean-desktop Now GNOME just takes over the responsibility. Please don't, it't just broken without coordination of src:tasksel maintainer. + Users are now possible to install two input engines. It troubles than benefits. + And the tasksel won't install corresponding language library for ibus. + And for the im-config, it's not possible to decide which engine is preferred by the tasksel data. Yes you can say that users change it by hand, but it's not what we want to achieve. We want a working desktop for different users by default. If GNOME maintainer want to change the default input method, it's better to do it in tasksel package. Please downgrade ibus to Suggests for bullseye.
