Actually the previous test builds in experimental were not successful: even
with clean installation, the (ibus-)libpinyin instance does not seem to be
properly generating local user dictionary. So I guess we will not make this
migration without further investigation.

I am also wondering about Ubuntu's plan on libdb removal, though I guess
Ubuntu may keep it forever due to needs from commercial side.

Thanks,
