Hi, I am seeing the same issue with a daily build of Raring Ringtail
(13.04) :
1/ Install a daily build on a USB disk and test it in French with
persistent data on.
2/ Launch gnome-language-selector, it will ask you to download the
remaining files to get a proper translated version.
3/ Accept that and discover that it downloads many files for languages
other than English (en) or French (fr).
In fact, when you try Ubuntu in French, the gnome-language-selector also
has (at least) Brazilian, Portuguese, Chinese-simplified and German
selected by default.
I have seen the following files being downloaded for example :
hunspell-de-ch
hunspell-de-de
hunspell-en-ca
hunspell-fr
hyphen-de
hyphen-en-us
hyphen-fr
libreoffice-l10n-de
libreoffice-l10n-en-gb
libreoffice-l10n-es
libreoffice-l10n-fr
libreoffice-l10n-pt
libreoffice-l10n-pt-br
libreoffice-help-de
libreoffice-help-en-gb
libreoffice-help-es
libreoffice-help-fr
libreoffice-help-pt
libreoffice-help-pt-br
4/ So then, uncheck all languages other than French and English, and discover
that - without any warning - it will remove a lot of programs that are not
language files.
I have seen for example :
Removing bluez-cups
Removing printer-driver-postscript-hp
Removing hplip
Removing printer-driver-hpcups
Removing printer-driver-gutenprint
Removing indicator-printers
Removing cups-browsed
Removing cups
Removing cups-filters
Removing ubuntu-desktop
Removing evince
Removing fonts-arphic-uming
Removing printer-driver-sag-gdi
Removing printer-driver-ptouch
Removing printer-driver-pnm2ppa
Removing ghostscript-x
Removing printer-driver-splix
Removing ghostscript-cups
Removing ghostscript
Removing ibus-sunpinyin
Removing ibus-table-wubi
Removing libevview3-3
Removing libevdocument3-4
Removing libspectre1:i386
Removing libgs9
Removing openoffice.org-hyphenation
Removing poppler-data
It's pretty strange and probably not very "clean"...
