Changelog
ibus-libpinyin (1.16.5-4) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Team upload.
   * debian/copyright: Refresh license information.
   * debian/: Split the binary package:
     + ibus-libpinyin: Only enables the ibus-libpinyin input method
       upon installation.
     + ibus-libbopomofo: Only enables the ibus-libbopomofo input method
       upon installation.
     + ibus-libpinyin-common: Stores all common files shared between the
       input methods.
     The binary package splitting is necessary to properly fix the
     input method enabling issue in mixed environments, such as Debian
     Live system. This really closes: #1138753.
   * debian/patches/0004-libpinyin.xml-Use-split-package-path.patch:
     Add patch to support binary package splitting by redirecting the
     input method discovery to a wrapper.
   * debian/ibus-libpinyin-list-engines: Add the wrapper for dynamic
     input method engine discovery.
   * debian/split-engines.py: Add the build-time helper script to split
     the input method availability XML dynamically.
