Probably because nobody knows? The first place that I'd check is
launchpad. But first you'd need to know which package is responsible; my
_guess_ is that these are the one's to try:

console-setup
http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/console-setup
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/console-setup

scim
http://packages.ubuntu.com/jaunty/scim
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/scim/+bugs
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/scim

Try posting the question in the answers section of either; if it's the
wrong package, then one of the dev/helpers can direct it to the right one.
