Situation has changed since fcitx5 5.0.4, which includes a compatible
frontend for fcitx4 module.
https://salsa.debian.org/input-method-team/fcitx5/-/commit/7780c8f7f9bcde2fcff6ae7fc3ce5ab2c40ebe63
The origin purpose is to support property software which only ships
with fctix4 modules, as well as snap, flatpak, etc, which can't use
the system library.
