Debian 11 bullseye has ibus-m17n 1.4.3:

https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/ibus-m17n

Ubuntu has ibus-m17n 1.4.3 because ibus-m17n 1.4.3 was imported into
Debian by the Debian Input Method team and then Ubuntu automatically
synced it to their archive.

PS: if you would like to add support for Georgian to the Debian
installer, website, wiki etc, please review the information at the
bottom of this page:

https://www.debian.org/international/

It appears there is some support for Georgian in the Debian installer,
but there is none in the website/wiki/etc and there is no mailing list
for Georgian translators. You can discuss this on the debian-i18n
mailing list.
