[Bug 2030259] [NEW] [BPO] Backport mozc from lunar to jammy

[Impact]

The main reason for this backport proposal is to deal with the fact that
bug #1931554 was not fixed in jammy. The bug was fixed in kinetic
through a new upstream release, but fixing it as an SRU by cherry
picking from upstream would be too complex.

To further justify the backport, I'm aware of at least one new feature.
:) In the backported version the user can configure mozc to start in
Hiragana mode instead of direct input mode which is the default.

[Scope]

The proposal is to backport mozc 2.28.4715.102+dfsg-2.2 from Ubuntu
23.04 to Ubuntu 22.04.

[Other Info]

Reverse dependencies
--------------------
task-japanese-desktop recommends uim-mozc and mozc-utils-gui, and task-japanese-gnome-desktop recommends ibus-mozc. Neither very relevant from an Ubuntu POV. No other reverse dependencies in relation to packages built by other source packages but mozc.

OTOH it may be worth mentioning that ibus-mozc, mozc-data and mozc-
server are included in the Ubuntu ISO and installed by default in case
of a Japanese install.

Reverse build dependencies
--------------------------
None.


The proposed package was uploaded to this PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~gunnarhj/+archive/ubuntu/mozc

It built successfully, and I have also confirmed that ibus-mozc with
dependencies installs fine and seems to work as expected.
