Well I needed to install the following packages:
libscim8c2a
scim
scim-gtk2-immodule
scim-modules-socket
scim-modules-table
scim-tables-additional

Of course after installation I had to run scim -d and configure a couple of
panel options, but nothing language specific.

Another thing I noticed, Firefox isn't rendering Indian language text
properly. This means that Pango is probably not enabled in the Firfox build
(--enable-pango). I know this is probably an Ubuntu issue, and that I should
be filing a wishlist bug against Firefox, but still, I'd like to mention it
all the same.
