Situation has changed since fcitx5 5.0.4, which includes a compatible frontend for fcitx4 module. https://salsa.debian.org/input-method-team/fcitx5/-/commit/7780c8f7f9bcde2fcff6ae7fc3ce5ab2c40ebe63 The origin purpose is to support property software which only ships with fctix4 modules, as well as snap, flatpak, etc, which can't use the system library. -- Shengjing Zhu
