In that case, the best way is probably using all_ALL. > Do I understand correctly that if SCIM is set up to handle all_ALL, then > the above situation would be addressed?

Scim package is already set up to handle all_ALL, it just doesn't set it to default (and it shouldn't). I believe no packages that currently use im-switch change all_ALL by default. I feel the best way to handle the situation in scim-kmfl-engine is to have a debconf question explaining the need to use GTK+ IM module, then offer to set it, with default to no (I still don't think it shouldn't be changed unless the user/admin explicitly asks). And when the answer to the question is yes, do things along the line of "update-alternatives --set xinput-all_ALL /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim-immodule" or "im-switch -z all_ALL -s scim-immodule".
