We have to revisit this topic as soon as rich dependencies are in place. Rich dependencies offer a way to handle locales on a system wide level. One possible implementation would be having langsupport-XX meta packages that enable support for a given language. Locales could be in packages like glibc-lang-de, foo-lang-de, ... The main package could then have Requires: (foo-lang-de if langsupport-de) if we want to enforce the locale package to be installed. Otherwise it might be more elegant to have the language package (e.g. glibc-lang-de) have: Supplements: (glibc and langsupport-de) As we can assume that glibc is always installed this could already be done with: Supplements: langsupport-de The benefit of this approach is that installing a new langsupport-XX package will bring in the locale packages for all packages making use of this mechanism.
