Bug Description

im-config's MIR requirements checks:
1.Availability: im-config is already in Ubuntu universe, and works well so far.

2.Rationale:
* im-config is a replacement of im-switch, used to set input methods for users. Now Debian has switched to use im-config as default, so there is no reason for Ubuntu to don't do so - it's obvious that Ubuntu's input method packaging is very largely depends on Debian, and we don't want to generate more delta. Without this package, ibus would be unusable (current status in 11.10).
* All of its (build) dependencies except dialog are in main already, dialog has its own MIR task.

3.Security and QA: There isn't any security problems detected, no Debian bugs nor Ubuntu bugs, well maintained by upstream.

4.Maintenance: This is a very simple package which doeesn't need too much time to investigate.

-----------------------------
dialog's MIR requirements checks:
1.Availability: dialog is already in Ubuntu universe, and works well so far.

2.Rationale: it is a dependency of im-config, which is needed to correctly set input methods.

3.Security and QA: There isn't any security problems detected, no Debian bugs, 2 not important Ubuntu bugs, well maintained by Debian maintainer.

4.Maintenance: This is a very simple package which doesn't need too much time to investigate.

im-config比im-switch好用很多，有一个可以用的默认程序，用户配置起来简单一
些，少一些疑惑。

im-config is much more easy to use than im-switch: im-config has an default setting tool,
it is easier when configuring, and with less confusion.

It doesn't run any debconf

There is no bug on Debian and lp except this one.

It does't ask special hardware.

It has not test suit

It is *not* translatable , but im-switch also can not.

It ships a desktop file /usr/share/applications/im-config.desktop, which is standard.

It is depending on dialog ,which is not in main.

It meets FHS and Debian Policy.

It has only some shell scripts, has not suid and sgid; no daemon to install; doesn't open any ports; and is not security sensitive.

for dialog

There is no bug on BTS of Debian, and several bugs on LP which are not serious.

It is just a normal executable file and a static library and several header files,
and is not security sensitive.

@MIR approval team,

I have updated this MIR request, please review it. This request is very important for having input methods working in 11.10.

Approved. Simple enough (though debian/rules is a bit gross). It could use a bug subscriber.

It also appears to have slightly inaccurate debian/copyright. It claims LGPL-2.1+, but the source appears to be merely LGPL-2.1. I've filed http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=632198 about that. But since author intent is not 100% clear and it's a minor difference, I don't think it's worth blocking the MIR over.
