I don't think that version would be accepted upstream, because having
a compile-time option per locale for the default input method wouldn't
scale well at all, and GNOME generally prefers having a correct default
rather than a "fix my desktop" option.

Also, I don't think we want to have to update gnome-desktop every time mozc
is changed to compile successfully on an additional architecture.

I'm testing a patch to do this as a runtime rather than compile-time
switch, so that we can use mozc-jp if that's installed, or anthy if not:
if we're doing a Debian-specific patch *anyway*, then that seems more like
what we want.
