Yes.  So some people may wish this package to be called scim-pinyin to
be neutral.  I do not care much about ownership of the word "chinese"
but this should be post-sarge change for sure.

Short answer: I did not add scim-config-gconf this time.

Long answer: 
I do not know better than you on this issue.

I added  scim-config-socket to this list

The rationale behind this change was 
 Bug#285623: Should depend or suggest with scim-*-scoket packages

This package matches this scim-*-scoket.

As for scim-config-gconf, I thought it is a configulation module and
added it long time ago.  Not enough thinking behind.

Please make modification which makes sense to you.

I think explanation of what this package offer and what kinnd of
difference this package makes will be nice to know too.
