So, am I right? We want to split every package and every subpackage in
language differented packages? We want that result:
package-$lang, package-sub1-$lang, package-sub2-$lang, ...
Is it goal to split single language files into language subpackages,
e.g. a manual page? If not, is it goal to split two language files into
language dependend subpackages? etc. :-)
What should become the golden rule here?
Wouldn't that remove a lot of the clearness in the package system?
Wouldn't that result in lot of fragmenation of the installation media?
I might want to consider here, that it was a challenge of not having
enough space on the installation media in the past, and we had only a
selecting of right packages for the single installation media. Doing
this additional fragmentation might advance it again.

Klaus.
