I think that the language packs should remain unchanged as they are often downloaded to enhance people's installation. For example, on my OOo installations at home I have the regular Eng; UK Eng; French and Spanish language packs. The installer would have been downloaded 3 times for nothing as all I wanted was the language pack.
