SCIM had a dead upstream for some years, and recently there are
someone trying to support it again. But we don't see much hope for it
to catch up with the rapid changes in other applications, while SCIM
is an input method framework which makes use of some specific features
of X, GTK+ and QT heavily.

While SCIM itself is still in a reasonable shape to be shipped with
Wheezy, it's Python binding, scim-python isn't. There is no
significant user base of this package, or any user visible features in
this package aren't provided by other input method platforms. There
isn't anybody willing to work on fixing it either, so it's time to RM.

We are willing to help users to switch to another input method
framework if needed, but during our survey there isn't such kind of
need.
