[Bug 930509] Re: Please sync gcin 2.7.2+dfsg-1 from Debian Sid to Ubuntu (universe)

[Aron Xu]

Hi, this is the most popular input method in Traditional Chinese
community, far more popular than Ubuntu's default - ibus-chewing.

Gcin was once removed from Debian because there wasn't anyone have
enough time and knowledge to maintain it, and thus users rely on third-
party repositories. I believe it's not a good thing to make such an
important piece of software missing from an LTS release, so here I am
requesting its inclusion to Precise once it gets into Sid.

The software is actively maintained upstream, and has a new Debian
maintainer, the package itself is also under the umbrella of IME
Packaging Team, who can support it until the quality meets for a Debian
stable release. I see no problem from accepting it before Feature
Freeze, to make sure it doesn't miss an important LTS.
