Thanks!

I might be misunderstanding, but I think both zh_TW and zh_HK normally use 
traditional Chinese characters, so task-chinese-t-gnome-desktop should 
ideally be suitable for both?

I think in the short term I'm going to revert the upstream change, so 
that we keep the Debian 12 behaviour (ibus-table-cangjie5).
If someone from Hong Kong tells us that ibus-cangjie would be better, we 
can ask for a freeze exception for that change separately.
