Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.34.0-2
Severity: important

I've been using fcitx as the default Chinese input method for decades.
Recommending ibus simply breaks everything for me.

Start XIM error. Another XIM daemon named ibus is running?

^ ibus (which I never use) was already running, so fcitx
  won't start.

Please revert

 220   * debian/control.in: Recommends ibus, gnome-shell tried to start
for years    
 221     now, ibus is required to input emoji these days. (Closes:
#815050)

Or find a better solution, e.g. Recommends: ibus | fcitx |
<other-input-methods>
