Good point.  We can make the text more descriptive.
How about "Asian language input method support".

You mean like lang-packs?  But conditional on what?

IMHO we should try to reduce the number of conditional packages
in comps not increase them.  Conditional packages are confusing
to users and not well supported by yum or packagekit.

The idea here is just to offer a quick and easy way for people
who don't need them to avoid installing (and updating/removing)
the default set of input methods, just like they can choose
not to install OpenOffice, etc.
