Bug Description
Please include these packages in Ubuntu's component main:
* lua5.4
* opencc
ibus-libpinyin provides the default method for inputting simplified Chinese, and is shipped with the desktop ISO. The latest Debian version of ibus-libpinyin couldn't migrate in hirsute, though, since it depends on liblua5.4-0 and libopencc1.1 which are both in universe.
For now I built ibus-libpinyin in Ubuntu with lua5.3 and without opencc support. However, it would be preferable to be able to sync the fully featured package from Debian.
lua5.2 and lua5.3 are already in main. opencc is a library for converting characters between traditional Chinese and simplified Chinese, and has been in main previously (trusty).
As regards bug subscribing, I assume that ~ubuntu-server is a suitable candidate for lua5.4 and that ~desktop-packages should be subscribed to opencc bugs.

Hi,
Generally the server-team would be ok with Lua5.4 - but we need to avoid adding more and more versions concurrently.
For older Lua versions being held in main I found:
- apache2-bin depends on lua5.2
- dovecot depends depends on lua5.3
If those two could move to lua5.4 we could have "just one" lua version supported.
It seems that isn't too trivial as it took time to get 5.1 dropped (bug 1324062).
And we currently have 5.2/5.3 in main at the same time.
Vice versa as long as the servers that made us support lua5.[23] can't move on to a new version I'd prefer to stick to lua5.3 which (thanks to Gunnar) right now works fine in ibus-libpinyin.
I filed a bug 1910372 against apache2/dovecot for it to get rid of 5.2 at least.
And to (further down the road) we can jointly move to 5.4 later.
For ibus-libpinyin I'd ask to keep it at lua5.3 as it is now until bug 1910372 is resolved to the extend that we know if apache2/dovecot will be able to move to 5.4 sometime soon (<=22.04 for example)
