Highly technical packages like zebra, netfilter-related stuff and linux-atm are most likely to be used by people who know English. Not speaking English will make running routers and/or internet security systems almost impossible anyway. I do not have any objection against end-user packages like KDE, Office Suites and Word Processors to be internationalized, but it seems pointless do try that effort for technical, geek-only packages.
