I believe SCIM pinyin does that as well (that's what my wife says).

Even though SCIM might soon reach end of life soon as upstream doesn't seem 
very active according to what I could read from others (can't remember where: 
on IRC or in a Debian list, but for sure in Debian) it is still use a lot. So I 
believe it might be a very good idea to also package the SCIM module, also 
because it could well be ported to other platforms (I'm namely thinking about 
Maemo (I'm using my Nokia N900 to write this email...)). Also, I think its a 
shame to package only a part of a program only because you use a part of it. Do 
you think you could as well port the SCIM module? I will test it for you (in 
both Lenny and lucid lynx), and help.

Just don't use pbuilder and use a (much simpler) chroot then. debootstrap is 
your friend here. I am not a fan of pbuilder, I use a freshly setup VM to do 
the same kind of test pbuilder would, when I need to check for dependencies. 
Remember to desactivate automatic install of recommends if you do like me. Put 
this:

APT
   {
      Install-Recommends "false";
   }

in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/20norecommends (for example) to do so, then install ONLY 
what is already in the build-deps of your package to check...

Well, in that case do get in touch with upstream. I do consider that upstream 
responsiveness is so important! Pinging them/him once is the minimum you should 
do, and you MUST be able to receive a valid, timely, answer. If you don't get 
any answer or consideration from them/him, just forget about doing the package 
maintenance work, unless you feel you are capable of forking and maintaining 
the full project!

I did NOT (yet), because I'm busy with private matters, and because you said 
the ibus package isn't ready (and now, I'm adding: because you didn't package 
the SCIM module yet...). I hope I will have time at the end of the week: please 
ping me if I don't come back to you (I receive nearly 50 real email per day, so 
it's hard to keep track...).

谢谢,

P.S: sorry for the poor indentation with Modest on the N900. I'd be greatful to 
anyone having a solution for this.
