Hi,
== BUG ==
Installation of ibus does not install any ibus-foo as default.
The dependency chain is
* ibus-xkbc depends on ibus
* ibus does not depends/recommends any ibus-foo (like ibus-xkbc).
So people installing ibus are left without hint for how to enable
ibus-module.
== ASSESSMENT ==
Since cyclic dependency is deprecated, we can not add
depends/recommends on ibus-foo pointing to ibus.
== SOLUTION ==
I can think of followings:
* add suggests to ibus-foo packages.
* add GUI UI preference panel "Help" with
/usr/share/doc/ibus/README.Debian" contents.
Since these are feature request, severity wishlist is appropriate.
== NOTE ==
There is new https://github.com/sun-im/ibus-xkbc for ibus 1.5
