Comment 0 for bug 1738582

Please include these packages in Ubuntu's component main:

* ibus-libpinyin
* libpinyin (the ibus-libpinyin binary depends on libpinyin7)
* lua5.1 (the ibus-libpinyin binary depends on liblua5.1-0)

As has been discussed at bug #1735362 we would like to replace ibus-sunpinyin with ibus-libpinyin ("Intelligent Pinyin") in the live seed and as the default input method for typing Simplified Chinese. Reasons for the switch are:

- ibus-libpinyin is better maintained
- ibus-libpinyin is built with and depends on Python3
  (not yet in Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/883631)
- ibus-libpinyin is default input method in GNOME

I have read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuMainInclusionRequirements, and haven't found any issues that would prevent the proposed main inclusion.
