Not a fight. Act as a bridge for users, collaborate with upstream 
(considering that we are a active part of upstream in this case) and 
figure out a good solution that does not bloat the package and have 
other effects like more resource use or slower speed of startup.

Some of these details are just coming out with good packaging guidelines 
on how we deal with language packs instead of every group doing it's own 
thing. There must be more common ground here.
