languages-Look-at-LOCPATH-before-compile-time-LIBLOCALEDI.patch languages: Look at $LOCPATH before compile-time LIBLOCALEDIR
This allows unit testing on a minimal system with no locales set up, by
generating some locales in a directory and setting LOCPATH.

Use-mozc-as-the-default-input-source-for-Japanese.patch Use mozc as the default input source for Japanese
Upstream prefers ibus-anthy for Japanese input, while Debian uses
ibus-mozc as the default. In particular, task-japanese-gnome-desktop
Recommends ibus-mozc on architectures where it is available.

There seems to be consensus that mozc is a better default for Debian. It
is also the default in Ubuntu since 16.04 at the request of Japanese
Ubuntu users, according to Ubuntu developer Gunnar Hjalmarsson.

Fall-back-to-ibus-anthy-if-ibus-mozc-jp-is-unavailable.patch Fall back to ibus:anthy if ibus:mozc-jp is unavailable
According to discussion on #1029821, mozc only supports little-endian
CPU architectures (for example i386 and arm64) and does not support
big-endian CPU architectures (for example powerpc and s390x), which
is why task-japanese-desktop and task-japanese-gnome-desktop have a
fallback dependency on uim-anthy and ibus-anthy respectively. Reflect
this by falling back to anthy if mozc doesn't appear to be installed.

debian/Revert-default-IM-for-zh_HK-to-ibus-table-cangjie5.patch Revert default IM for zh_HK to ibus-table-cangjie5
In Debian 12, and in testing as of 2025-06-09, the default input method
for zh_HK users was "ibus"/"table:cangjie5" (the ibus-table-cangjie5
package). Upstream release 44.3 changed this to "ibus"/"cangjie" (the
ibus-cangjie package). These are both implementations of the Cangjie
input method, typically used in Hong Kong and Macau to enter Traditional
Chinese characters (unless I've been misled by Wikipedia).

To avoid possible regressions during the Debian 13 freeze, return to the
Debian 12 behaviour while we discuss which one would be a better default
with the l10n-chinese mailing list.

This reverts commit e89ad22f10961955c5495be96de2d0ff122ffe62.
