Currently in universe

[Rationale]
Mozc is a replacement candidate for Anthy, the previously default Japanese input method engine.

[Security: ]
CVE entries: none
Security history: none
Any binaries running as root or suid/sgid ? Any daemons ?
    -- all running as per user session, and /usr/bin/mozc-server may run as user daemon.
Network activity: does it open any port ? Does it handle incoming network data ?
    -- no, it doesn't
Does it directly (not through a library) process binary (video, audio, etc) or structured (PDF, etc) data ?
    -- no, it doesn't
Any source code review performed ? (The approver will do a quick and shallow check.)
    -- yes, no significant issue found.

[Quality Assurance]
Package works out of the box with no prompting.
There is no reproducible major bugs in Ubuntu and Debian.
Upstream is active, backed by Google.
Package is maintained at Debian, Ubuntu delta drops unwanted dependency for the ease of main inclusion and maintenance.

Upstream bug tracker: https://github.com/google/mozc/issues
Hardware: Does this package deal with hardware and if so how exotic is it ?
    -- no
Is there a test suite in the upstream source or packaging ? Is it enabled to run in the build ?
    -- yes, some fundamental tests

[UI standards]
    User-visible strings are internationalized using standard gettext system ?
        -- no, it's language-specific software requires the user knows Japanese
    Package with translatable strings builds a PO template during package build ?
        -- no
    End-user applications ship a desktop file?
        -- yes, for the engine settings panel.

[Standards Compliance]
FHS and Debian Policy compliant.
Packaging system (debhelper/cdbs/dbs) ? Patch system ? Any packaging oddities ?
    -- package is using debhelper.

[Maintenance]
Desktop Team will take care of them.

[Dependencies]
1. ninja-build: small build system closest in spirit to Make, and the package itself quite small and straight forward
2. zinnia: an online hand recognition system based on Support Vector Machines, processing the pen stroke
3. tegaki-zinnia-japanese: Japanese handwriting model for Zinnia, which is a data-only package
