Bug#1029821: change gnome-desktop's default choice of Japanese input methods for Debian

Package: libgnome-desktop-4-2

X-Debbugs-Cc: yy.y.ja.jp at gmail.com

I'd like to contribute by testing d-i with Japanese input (I'm not a Japanese
speaker, but can offer some time to help).

My plan is to:

  1. run the graphical d-i install of a fresh GNOME 43 system
  2. select 'anthy' in 'gnome-initial-setup'
  3. attempt Japanese keyboard input

  4. run the graphical d-i install of a fresh GNOME 43 system
  5. select 'mozc-jp' in 'gnome-initial-setup'
  6. attempt Japanese keyboard input

For each path I may need help: how will I verify that Japanese input support
is working?  (maybe a naive question, but I don't know; I will search the web
to find out soon, but any guidance before then would be appreciated)

Also:

My understanding is that the _only_ difference that the patch will make is
that it will change the default in 'gnome-initial-setup'.  Users could still
choose 'anthy' -- or another input method -- if they want, for some reason.  Is
that correct?
