[TODO: why? The Debian changelog just says "imported from Ubuntu"]

In the Vietnamese Quoted-Readable input method, punctuation following a

base letter is converted into diacritical marks, for example a( → ă.

(See <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vietnamese_Quoted-Readable>.)

A 2008 bug report in Ubuntu argued that this is a problematic default,

particularly when typing passwords, where the effect of the punctuation

is non-obvious.

According to the bug reporter, VIQR is popular with Vietnamese users

living elsewhere in the world, where Vietnamese keyboards are unlikely

to be readily available, but is not a popular choice within Vietnam,

where the Telex or VNI input modes are preferred.
