This Change will benefit to install all the possible language related
packages for a given language using langpacks-<lang> meta-package. First
this Change is important so that once we get single package installation
giving needed language support packages we can further work to use this
meta-package in gnome-software or in the required Gnome package to install
the language support automatically.

Also, This will benefit libreoffice package to remove following from its
specfile and only test the libreoffice UI rendering for the given default
language font(s) using langpacks

Requires: font(:lang=<lang>)

Right. Currently, the dnf group install command provides more language
support packages compared to langpacks-<lang> meta-package.
