Version: 1.15.8-2
Severity: grave

Dear Maintainer,
I am filing this with 'grave' severity because this configuration completely
breaks basic text input capability for native users in zh_TW locale,
results the default desktop interface from Debian Live unusable.
We found this issue in the live image which pulls all the locales stuff.
When user enter zh_TW (Taiwan) locale, the system enables ibus-libpinyin
by default as the primary Zhuyin/Bopomofo input method.
We understand that the Debian Live images are designed to support all
languages out of the box, which is why a wide variety of input methods (such
as Anthy/Mozc for Japanese and Hangul for Korean) are installed by default.
However, Debian Live handles them correctly: none of the Korean or Japanese
input methods are automatically enabled or forced onto other unrelated
locales by default.
Delivering localized desktop environment where the basic text input fails
to respect the chosen locale severely damages Debian's image among the
community. It gives the impression that the operating system is unrespected,
poorly localized, and unaware of critical language differences, keep users
away right from the start.
Please adjust the ibus-libpinyin package's default to not to enable by
default for any locale other than zh_CN to make the localized desktop in
Debian Live accurate, respectful, and user-friendly.
Thanks for the info. As the Debian packaged version did not carry any custom
patch, I guess this is a behavior from the original ibus-libpinyin source
code. The package was provided unchanged in the past, and we may have to
patch it downstream in Debian to disable any unwanted behavior.
Do you have any patch in your mind that you may consider appropriate?
Otherwise please consider also opening an issue at the upstream issue
tracker for some coordination with upstream. Just to let you know that
I personally am current still in Debian vacation so I won't have time
to dig into it, and help from other people would be welcome. NMU fixes
would be possible, and I can review the changeset when I have more time.
Feel free to let me know your thoughts.
Best,
Boyuan
