Thanks, Mattia.

im-switch is indeed available and it is installed automatically. 
However, something in the latest KDE version is stopping it from working 
properly if you do a clean install directly from a Live CD.  The 
downgrade -> re-upgrade I performed got me a working copy.  I am not 
Debian-savvy enough to know why that is so.  There may be some lines of 
code that were stripped from the latest version that are not cut from 
the previous version during an upgrade.
