Here is current debian/control file. http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/uim.git;a=blob;f=debian/control;h=7e8f08640562b8eee5b3604fb12ebd668716e697;hb=f089c29c732b0c7f8dbf5911661d971e236d9ea4 > Package: uim-common : > - This package contains a common files for uim packages. > + This package contains common files for the UIM packages. Upstream says "uim" is not "UIM". So, I did s/UIM/uim/g. http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/uim/2006-November/001645.html > Yes, it is defined as an acronym of "Universal Input > Method".

Do you mean "Why do Pinyin and Hangul have explanation such as Chinese/Korean input method? Anthy, SKK, Canna and T-Code/TUT-Code are just proper noun"? Do I have to add explanation for all input methods? Or remove Pinyin and Hangul explanations? > Package: uim-gtk2.0 : > - This package contains a input method module on GTK+2.0. > + This package contains an IM-module for GTK+2.0. > +# WHAT IS THAT AND WHY SHOULD I INSTALL IT? ----------------------------------- This package contains an IM-module for GTK+2.0.

Does it cover Icelandic? Rumanian? Czech? I think uim-latin supports composing diacritics and covers Icelandic from uim-latin's configulation.
