The problem is that most people using m17n only need one or two of
its langs installed at most, but not necessarily the ones for which they
want software translations say (and anyway by default all translations
are installed by default nowadays afaict).  If all the input maps in
m17n-db get installed by default, then about 40 languages appear in the
SCIM language selection menu suddenly which is not nice.

Eg I run a Japanese desktop, but also want to be able to input European
languages with m17n-db-latin say: how can I do that without pulling in
all the other langs under your packaging?
