It was done this way early on, before moving all the l10n components into
the base SUNWipkg-gui.

At this point, SUNWipkg-gui-l10n is empty, and should be marked obsolete,
while SUNWipkg-gui should have an optional or incorporate dependency on it,
so that the removal is forced (or the pkg5 consolidation package should
incorporate the obsolete version).

Right now, there's no good way, if for no other reason than many components
don't separate these out into separate packages.

Eventually, localizations will all be moved into the packages the base
component is in, and facets will be used to allow you to install whichever
ones you want, system-wide.  So you can turn them all off, or make sure
that all packages which have German localizations have them installed, etc.
