In general, those g-i "overrides" provide additional or modified APIs
when automatically generated g-i bindings are not enough. For example
when automatic bindings don't look good in Python. And they are
transparent; you don't have to specify explicitly to use the overridden
code.

So when the ibus g-i overrides are installed, the ibus programs in
Python transparently use them. But interestingly, all ibus Python
programs in Debian seem to work without the overrides.

I still think the overrides should be installed, because they are the
officially provided ibus Python APIs anyway.

In Debian, the g-i overrides are packaged in python-* packages or
sometimes in gir* packages. I have no idea which one is better.
