According to fcitx upstream, package fcitx-table-cangjie was disabled
upstream since 2013. The upstream git commit is
https://github.com/fcitx/fcitx/commit/8f95800f7c0b2edde40a4d158e855f5eb94c8635
. As a result, this package shall never be used anymore. Please use other
available cangjie packages.

I have updated the package description for fcitx-table-cangjie to reflect
this fact. A new upload to Debian Sid will be made shortly with updated
package description.

Thanks,
Boyuan Yang
