With current policy in action, I doubt this is desirable thing to do
even if it works.

Anyway, GNOME 3.6 is not stable enough platform yet.  It needs to
stabilize itself before we package for Debian unstable (at least around
IME related things.)  We are shipping GNOME 3.4 so ibus 1.4.? is good
choice.

I did not initiate this experimental upload (Asias He and Aron Xu did).
I think we should keep us out of these new GNOME for unstable.  Once we
see the next RHEL release with newer GNOME 3.8, we will be OK.
Otherwise, GNOME development releases are really alpha stage quality as
a whole distribution.

Please keep these in experimental before we have good backported mature
1.4 series IBus for wheezy backport.  We still have lots of time before
Jessie.

Osamu
