I have no way to judge Chinese IM's maturity etc. But since this is
also listed in http://www.scim-im.org/projects/imengines of FreeDeskTop
site, it should be good one.

Did you check lintian?

Can you clean them up? (Did you build with debuild or pdebuild? Then you should have noticed.)
As per: http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-docs.html#s12.3
I do not see README nor README.Debian in /usr/share/doc/scim-array. That
should help user to understand how to use this package. Debian is migrating to
UTF-8 for text file. README in source seem to be in traditional encoding.
Please convert it to UTF-8 if you install it to the user system.
Also copyright file, I think it is better to follow more common style.
Now: Licence: GPL-2 or any later version
My thought: Licence: GPL-2+
Rationale: I do not know how popular to follow following rule but FYI:
