The fcitx5 does not support all the input methods that zh_TW users need in bookworm.

I know the frustration over the missing of fcitx5-table-extra; as others have already mentioned, it has went through rounds of packaging and FTP Master rejection in the last several years. If you want a good solution and this package is the thing people are looking for, I believe the best mitigation I can think of now is to have it pass through the NEW queue asap, and get it backported to bookworm-backports once available in Testing. That's why I am requesting help from people on the Debconf site hoping to have this process expedited. Thanks, Boyuan Yang
