Just playing devils advocate: downloads are bigger if all the langpacks
are in the main package.

Anyway, that's a problem presto might solve soon.

But we have langpacks in openoffice and kde as well as dictionaries
(aspell, hunspell,...). Maybe we should work towards a proper solution
so yum/pirut installs the langpacks and dictionaries automatically where
it makes sense. Then big langpacks could be split off in other apps as
well (e.g. firefox and thunderbird).
