Sorry for the delay, but I've finally finished 1.0.1-4 packaging.  It
fixes the scim-gtk2-immodule dependency bug.  I also changed the
debian/watch file to track sourceforge (since scim isn't hosted on
freedesktop.org after the compromise.)  I've tested the SVN (revision
328) with pbuilder, it builds, and runs fine in my simple testing.

I noticed you made some new changes on README.Debian yesterday.  I like
most of them (actually I was going to point out that scim-chinese is for
PinYin input method only.  I also made a comment about the availability
of WuBi input method in scim-tables-zh), but I have one question: you
added scim-config-conf to the basic installation recommendation, which
will pull in gconf and many other GNOME packages.  Is it really
necessary?  I don't see it related to the scim-gtk2-immodule bug, and I
have been using scim without scim-config-gconf for a long time.  This
module is actually optional in building (it would build if ./configure
doesn't find gconf2 libraries), so I think it will be safe to leave it.
Would you please elaborate the reason you added it?

Thanks,
Ming
