The best solution here would probably be to split each langpack into a
subpackage appropriate to the selection of language support at install
time. (E.g., selecting the "Spanish Support" would install the
firefox-langpack-es package; and "Danish Support," the
firefox-langpack-dk package in a similar fashion, et al.)

I've CC-ed Chris Aillon (Red Hat's guru of all things Gecko/Mozilla) on
this; as I'd like to get his opinion this. Chris, how feasible would
this be? :] Thanks!
