The latest python-ibus package available is in wheezy-backports. I am using Debian testing (buster), so python-ibus is not available to me. This causes ibus-tegaki to fail which prevents me from launching the tegaki Japanese/Chinese handwriting IME via the ibus hotkeys and tray icon. According to the tegaki developers, python-ibus is a dependency for ibus-tegaki, even though the maintainer of the ibus-tegaki Debian package never included python-ibus as a dependency. In the past I have been able to get ibus-tegaki to work by installing python-ibus, but that is not possible now. I tried installiing the version of python-ibus available in wheezy-backports, but it does not work, presumably because it was compiled for wheezy and not for the current testing version (buster). I request that the python-ibus package be made available in the current Debian repositories since it is required for ibus-tegaki and possibly other packages to function. Thank you.
