It's a good improvement. I favor both the motivation and the way.

I think that -server (or 'd') suffix should be kept to inform
users what it is.

The suffix implies that it will listen for connections as a
background process even if users don't know uim system
organization well.

For example, how do you feel of uim-mbus-server or uim-mbusd?
