It has been a while, but I thought that this was controlled by
/usr/share/language-selector/data/pkg_depends (in
language-selector-common).  ubiquity calls check-language-support to
query for the packages it needs to keep.

I don't see an "im:si::ibus-m17n" line in
https://git.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-desktop/ubuntu/+source/language-selector/tree/data/pkg_depends.
