Good.

Actually, this was bug on my part. I meant to do:
Depends: zenity | dialog, ${misc:Depends}
If one of it exist, this program work as configuration tool.
If it finds zenity, it uses zenity over dialog.

But I do not understand "fcitx itself will be highly modularized
hence itself won't depend on any X or gtk packages."
You do not need to use "DEPENDS" for im-config. Just "Recommends" is
good enough. People may configure any way they wish to start it. Thus
this recommends should come from something like fcitx-x. So installing
fcitx-fbterm only should not pull in even as recommend.
Please note, script hook of im-config / im-switch is in X start up code.
Since I do not know how stadard start up code should be for fbterm, I
can not extend im-config to support fbterm. Any suggestion is welcome.
See code at:
Vcs-Git: git://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/im-config.git
Vcs-browser: http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/im-config.git
Anyway, how soon I should fix this?
