I totally agree.  Just FYI:  The scim-chinese issue is a historical
lugguage -- James had the ambition to write an intellectual IM for most
Chinese input methods, but only finished the PinYin part, and had to
settle for the simpler table-based engine on others.  But the name
stays.

I've removed the scim-config-gconf recommendation, and add some notes
about the roles of scim and scim-gtk2-immodule.  I also updated the
upstream website links.

I think the package are good to be uploaded now.  Osamu, do you have
time to test (I've tested with pbuilder, just to make sure) and upload
it?  Thanks.
