The discussion about ibus-mozc vs. ibus-anthy made me realize that we 
have a similar inconsistency for users who install GNOME with the zh_TW 
locale.

While ibus-chewing is recommended:

$ apt depends task-chinese-t-gnome-desktop
task-chinese-t-gnome-desktop
   Depends: tasksel (= 3.71)
   Recommends: ibus-chewing
   Recommends: gnome-initial-setup

gnome-initial-setup offers the ibus-libzhuyin option:

In this case the user preferences are not so clear to me. This list 
thread comes to mind:

Should we fix this sub-optimal user experience, and if so, how?
