Well it mentions the packages that AREN'T affected,
and some even TWICE (BUG!),
but it DOESN'T mention the packages that ARE affected!
AGGGGG!

So we try to figure out which ones ARE affected,
# aptitude search ~i~nscim
i A libscim8c2a                                     - library for SCIM platform
i   scim                                            - smart common input method platform
i   scim-chewing                                    - Chewing IM engine module for SCIM
i   scim-modules-table                              - generic tables IM engine module for SCIM platform
i   scim-tables-ko                                  - Korean input method data tables for SCIM platform
i   scim-tables-zh                                  - Chinese input method data tables for SCIM platform

So the ones that are affected are the ones mentioned below, but not
above. WHAT A DRAG to have to figure out this on our own.
