Maybe it is time to reevaluate some of these very old, not fully
supported, obscure install modifications like install_lang,
netsharedpath,  exclude-docs.

Who is actually using these, and how ?

Do we 'support' this kind of tweaked installation with any of our
install media ? 

If we don't, why do we allow them to complicate packaging ?

What is the cost that these marginal use cases add for our packagers ?
