So not only are there daily builds of stable releases, they are taking
packages in -proposed into account. I had no idea of either. Thanks for
letting me know.

Great, thanks for confirming. (But please note that the released 18.04.3
ISO will not include packages in -proposed.)

Yeah, the existence of the "cn" keyboard layout has been questioned by
others too:

config/issues/75

Replacing "cn" with "en" makes sense to me.

No, that will probably not happen. Even if there is only one zh_CN input
method available in the live session, the "Intelligent Pinyin" method
needs to be labeled as that to distinguish it from other methods
available in the Ubuntu archive.

But none of these fine-tuning things will be backported to 18.04 anyway.
If you want that kind of adjustments be considered for 19.10 or 20.04,
please file a new bug report.

Title:
  Default IBus input method ignored in live session

Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in gnome-settings-daemon source package in Bionic:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  If you

  * start your computer with a bootable USB stick or DVD with the
    18.04.2 desktop ISO

  * wait until Ubiquity's welcome screen shows up (only possible on
    systems with legacy BIOS; bug #1766047)

  * select a language which requires an input method for typing

  * click the "Try Ubuntu" button

  no IBus method is made easily available via the input source indicator
  in the session you enter. If you for instance select zh_CN as language
  and "Try Ubuntu", you would expect to enter a session with the
  "Intelligent Pinyin" method included among the available input
  sources.

  The proposed fix should ensure that an IBus method is always available
  in "live sessions" in languages which are prepared for it.

  [Test Case]

  1. Install ibus-libpinyin and make sure that "Intelligent Pinyin" is
     not included among your available input sources.

  2. Generate the Chinese locale:

     sudo locale-gen zh_CN.UTF-8

  3. Add to ~/.profile this line:

     export LC_CTYPE=zh_CN.UTF-8

  4. Remove the gnome-settings-daemon stamp file:

     rm ~/.local/share/gnome-settings-daemon/input-sources-converted

  5. Log out and log in again.

  => Find that the "Intelligent Pinyin" method was not added (since the
  sources already in the list prevented it from being added).

  6. Install gnome-settings-daemon from bionic-proposed.

  7. Repeat step 4 and 5.

  => Find that the "Intelligent Pinyin" method was added.

  [Regression Potential]

  The proposed upload includes a small change which specifically
  addresses the issue as described above. I find that the risk for
  adverse side effects is low.

  [Original description]

  Ubuntu 18.10 iso (2018.8.7), select Simplified Chinese for booting, can't
  input Chinese character. From Settings -> Regions and Languages, selected
  Intelligent Pinyin, also could not input Chinese.

  Languages,选择 智能拼音,也无法输入中文。
