I no longer remember the details, but I have vague memories of the idea behind these tasks/metapackages being to have a mechanism to only install the relevant KDE translation packages when installing KDE. No idea if it was ever done for all or any languages, but it seem like a good idea to avoid having to pull in KDE translations when installing LXDE or XFCE. :)
Perhaps it is already solved some other way? I do not know. Perhaps something to check out and verify before removing them? -- Happy hacking Petter Reinholdtsen
