Bug Description

Please backport ibus-avro 1.1-0ubuntu1 (universe) from eoan to xenial, bionic, disco.

Reason for the backport:
========================
ibus-avro has just been packaged for Ubuntu, but the Avro Phonetic tool it installs has been available for Linux since 2012. It's a popular tool for inputting Bangla, but complexity and issues with installing has caused Avro Phonetic to not be as spread among Ubuntu users as it deserves.

By backporting this new package to the supported Ubuntu releases, we will be able to say to the Bangla speaking users:

"ibus-avro is now in the Ubuntu archive. Install it via Ubuntu Software or from terminal via

sudo apt install ibus-avro "

It's a small step to make Ubuntu a more attractive alternative for Bangla speaking users.

Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.

* xenial:
[X] Package builds without modification
[X] ibus-avro installs cleanly and runs
* bionic:
[X] Package builds without modification
[X] ibus-avro installs cleanly and runs
* disco:
[X] Package builds without modification

Please consider those as proposed uploads.

No disco-backports project seems to have been created yet, but it should reasonably be backported to disco too.

All uploaded!

(however I messed up the first batch, I uploaded them to the base releases instead of -backports; I asked in #-release for somebody to reject those…)
