I have mistaken "O" as "Obsoleted" (actually, Orphaned), and the
argument from gcin upstream arised with HIME upstream over the
"Obsolescence" since that ITP bug.

To apologize with gcin and HIME upstreams, I decided to maintain HIME
myself. (It made me begin using HIME)

I wish someone else could take care of gcin recently. Kanru (gcin
ex-maintainer) posted that gcin is maintained by debian-pkg-ime just
now, and he is looking for co-maintainer.

In this case, should I pack gtk2 immodule with gtk3 immodule together,
or putting hime-gtk3-immodule into Recommend is enough?

Thank you.

I have no idea either. This may raise another argument.

OK. I will take care of package descriptions. And, I put this package
into collab-maint here:
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/hime.git;a=summary
(I should put it to #652022)

The “argument” situation is described in the above in-line reply.
