I meet one people in Debconf24 who come from Hong Kong,
he is a native Hong Kong people.

I CC'ed this email to he, perhaps he come help answer.

I come from China mainland, I use zh_CN locale.
Most people live in China mainland use zh_CN locale.

As most zh_CN locale user not use ibus-cangjie or ibus-table-cangjie5,
so task-chinese-s-gnome-desktop should not pull in them.

Perhaps the zh_TW locale user can give some feedback in debian-l10n-chinese
mailing list for task-chinese-t-gnome-desktop.

I also CC'ed this email to a DD, meet in Debconf24, who use zh_TW locale. :-)
