This might be like beating the dead horse, but I just need to write it down.
The discussion in that issue was funny. There was a statement that langpacks should not contain dictionaries, which is IMHO not OK. Langpack is a small package that makes en-US version (or some other language version) behave like that language full-package. So when a langpack is installed it MUST contain all dictionaries that a full-package in that language contains. That is the expected behaviour. If not, then also en-US dictionary should be ommited from all langpacks and all full language packs - user could install one if needed. But such thinking is really not user friendly. There is of course the other possibility - that the lang-pack installer would offer a list of predefined dictionaries to install and the user would have a choice to disable some of them. But again the installer should contain and be able to install them.
