Thanks for the dpkg-divert suggestion. Currently we patch this package to
remove this problematic autostart file but we could avoid that with
dpkg-divert. GNOME Initial Setup is used at first boot to configure the
system language and input method.

As noted in this thread, Debian live media does the same – I don't think
this is so non-typical!

I don't think such a thing is possible or desirable. Each DE already has
its own way to configure input methods per-user (and system-wide).

Limiting the auto-enabling behaviour to Japanese locales would be an
improvement but consider the case where the system has two different input
methods installed, both of which have this script. Which one should win?
