I looked at your changes from the latest 12.04 packages and while they are 
unusual for a post release update (adding a new binary package) would be 
worthwhile if was can get IM to work.  Can you write up step by step 
instructions on how to set up and use IM on 12.04 so that people who don't 
know anything about IM can test it?

For Quantal, the next for items on your list:

> 2. sudo apt-get update
> 3. sudo apt-get install plasma-widget-kimpanel
> plasma-widget-kimpanel-backend-ibus 4. logout and login
> 5. add "Input Method" widget.

can be automated.  We can create a new Kubuntu task fo install the additional 
packages and add the widget.  We might also be able to do the last bit:

> 6. turn Ibus on

There's definitely interest in getting this fixed, but we need help.
