This is an annoying problem, because too many unneeded locales appear in login prompt (gdm login screen) and users are confused by this - they don't know which English variant to choose from about 15 (en_HK, en_DK, en_IN, en_ZW, en_NZ, en_PH, en_US, en_GB, en_AU, en_SG, en_BW, en_ZA, en_CA, en_IE) ! :( I think this situation is not correct - almost no one will need English British, English Australian, English South African, English Singapore and all other 10 translations (look above) *at* *the* *same* *time*. Users will need only one of them at the majority of cases. Some other translations variants of the same language are already in separate language packs, for example Greek: language-pack-el-base (translations for language Greek, Modern) language-pack-grc-base (translations for language Greek, Ancient) I think language-pack-en should be split at least to several language packs according to geographical regions, for example for en_AU (Australian) and en_NZ (New Zealand) translations same language pack could be used, because Australia and New Zealand are neighbor countries.
