Dear input method team,

Since Debian Trixie will have multiple desktop environments and
applications built with QT6, we should build scim with the QT6
support to ensure compatibility with these QT6 applications
and desktops.

I have checked the upstream GitHub repository, there were add qt5
support and then inactive until now.

Without the qt6 support for this input method. User won't be able
to trigger this input method on any qt6 applications and terminals.

It makes this unuseable for users. So it deserve as a serious
severity.

Best regards,
-Andrew

enlightenment and terminology still use scim via efl.  I don't use it,
not sure how well it works.  It's possible that no one uses it.

Upstream does look unmaintained, so if removing scim is the right thing,
I can drop support.
