Great !

This idea will be _reallly_ useful, for those (like me) who always
delete all translation files that are not needed for my system (to fit
the system to a liveCD, for example).
But, when you say "L10n team should maintain a package", who will do
it ? Translators, for each language ?

english ;) .
