Hello the authors of ibus-libpinyin ,

I'm using ibus-libpinyin on fedora 42 . I found ibus-libpinyin provides both
pinyin Chinese IME and bopomofo Chinese IME . Could you please consider split
ibus-libpinyin into ibus-libpinyin and ibus-libbopomofo ? The reason is that
those who use pinyin IME doesn't know bopomofo IME at all , and vice verse
those who use bopomofo IME doesn't know pinyin IME neither . So I can install
only the package which I use . Why must combine pinyin IME and bopomofo IME
into one single package ? Most hope there is no unnecessary codes in their
computers . Hope ibus-libpinyin more modularized and more divided ! Thanks for
your time and consideration!

Best regards,
Tingrong

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. sudo dnf install ibus-libpinyin
2. ibus-setup
3. will see there are both pinyin Chinese IME and bopomofo Chinese IME
Actual Results:
one single package -- ibus-libpinyin provides more than one IME .

Expected Results:
one package provides only one IME .

I guess most libpinyin users don't need "libbopomofo"
so maybe it makes sense to split the xml file and subpackage bopomofo?
