since libcangjie has made its way to raring, I started reviewed pycangjie and 
ibus-cangjie, I've an issue with this source though:
- the code is under LGPL3
- but it also has a copy of a LGPL2.1 source: src/pycanberra.py (that's a 2.1 
and not 2.1+)

since that copy is a private/modified version, my reading of
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#AllCompatibility would be that
it's in the "I want to copy LGPL2.1 code for my project which is LGPL3"
case, which seems ok as long as you transfert this code to GPLv3. In
which case the GPL license should be shipped in the tarball and the
debian/copyright should state that the source is GPLv3 and not LGPL2.1 I
guess?

let me know if you think my reading of the situation is incorrect, I'm
in no way a licenses expert
