I agree,

the first time i used "publican package" i tried to specify multiple
langs with "langs=" but it failed. If the commands were mashed together,
what i tried to do would still fail, as i can only specify one lang when
building a package. allowing "langs=" to work will only confuse further.

my 2 cents: keep the distinction between langs= and lang=.
