Hi メット,

I haven't yet found the time to actually upgrade my Debian systems to
Devuan. I didn even consider, that there are pitfalls around the input
method support, thanks for the info, it is good to be able to consider
these things in advance (I use japanese input myself).

My usual workaround for input-method related problems is to do
everything in Emacs. Emacs has its own japanese input method built in
(M-x set-input-method <Ret> japanese <Ret>). And there is also a
package that adds anthy support (apt-get install anthy-el; M-x
set-input-method <Ret> japanese-anthy <Ret>).

Downside is, you have to do all the writing in emacs. Emacs' japanese
input support is one of the reasons I use Emacs/Gnus for writing mail.
Nice thing is, I can still properly write japanese texts, even from the
terminal when ssh-ing into my system.

I will have a look at these issues, once upgrading my system to Devuan.
Until then, please keep us posted about any progress you make.

グッドラック,

David
