Is it possible to switch Unity to use ayatana-indicator-keyboard instead of indicator-keyboard?

We had plan to move to ayatana-indicators before Jammy but never happened since it was very large change across multiple unity packages. And two set of libraries causes issues like https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libayatana-appindicator/+bug/1964964.

I have asked Rudra to look into it. It seems only tests fails. I didn't notice any functionality issue atleast on Jammy.

@Khurshid, we need to rebuild (or remove) indicator-keyboard soon to complete a library transition. See https://launchpad.net/bugs/1983372

What do you think is the best way to handle this?
