Good.

I understand from some other bug reports that in 20.04 (ibus 1.5.22) German was denoted as 'xkb:de::ger', and in 20.10 (ibus 1.5.23) that was changed to 'xkb:de::deu'. You can see what it currently looks like for you via this command:

gsettings get org.freedesktop.ibus.general preload-engines

So the first time you logged in after the upgrade, your saved value 'xkb:de::ger' was not understood and thus ignored.

The name was changed only for a small number of XKB layouts, of which German was one. Ideally there should have been some transition code to deal with the change. Let's await the reaction to the upstream issue.
