Right. Choosing ibus-sunpinyin was not preceded by any deeper 
considerations. It was the preferred input method last time Ubuntu's 
default IM framework for Simplified Chinese was IBus, and has been 
pulled by language-selector (pkg_depends) after that for Ubuntu GNOME.

GNOME seems to default to ibus-libpinyin:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-desktop/tree/libgnome-desktop/default-input-sources.h

That would speak for replacing ibus-sunpinyin with ibus-libpinyin on 
both the live CD and language-selector. But we should probably try to 
get opinions from some Chinese users before making this change.
