You don't need to be able to create .debs. There are others who can do
that. You may want to help to work out what framework or frameworks
would be needed to get input methods working for different languages,
and to make sure that it works well in different environments.

I'm limited by the fact that I mainly need Japanese input to work,
mainly use Gnome and that most of my experience has been with UIM.
