conceptually i'd think language packs should be troves like for programing
languages, similar to libre-office:python there would be libre-office:french
and firefox:french, and just like you can pick to install :doc or leave it out,
you'd pick the language you want. there could of course be a group to bind them
all together.

one problem with this idea however is how to separate for example docs in
different languages.

in a group can packages be made optional in a way that they are only installed
if their dependencies are already there? 

greetings, martin.
