    Followup-For: Bug #1096097

    control: severity -1 serious

    Dear maintainers of hime,

    I'm raising the severity of this ticket. We are currently in the first
    stage of the freeze for trixie, and this input method doesn't works
    in desktop environments like KDE/LXQt and also other apps that uses QT6.

    As a regular user. I'm unable to use this input method in any QT6 apps/environment. As an expert user I can switch to other input method,
    but this is not what a typical user should do.

    Please consider downgrading this to important again.

    Given the soon starting soft freeze this is likely too late for trixie.

    Given the soft freeze rules and the automatic removal of packages with RC
    bugs keeping this at RC level will leave debian trixie without this package
    and thus without support for hime in neither qt6 nor qt5/gtk/... .

    As i expect qt6 support to need a new binary package (hime-qt6-immodule) it
    is now to late to fix this in trixie.

    The other possibility is of course keeping this bug RC and this removing
    hime from trixie completly. Which seem like a worse outcome.

    Soft freeze has started in the meantime.

    Even if qt6 support would be good, let's at least keep the existing toolkit support.
