Well, is <engine_package_name> a must have part?
Fedora and direct compiled (use --prefix=/usr) engine uses
/usr/libexec to ibus-*-engine and ibus-*-setup.
The "Preference" button still works when /usr/libexec is changed to
/usr/lib/<arch> , as the ibus-setup assume all the ibus-*-setup
program reside in a single directory.

I'm not a fan of this single directory approach. I prefer each engine
specify their ibus-*-setup explicitly. But such proposal is rejected
upstream some time ago. We can also patch ibus-setup, which is trivial
actually.

Anyway, we need make IBus engines multi-arch enabled?
