I tend to like this approach.  I think it'd also make it possible to
have seperate Debian packages for the different languages more easily,
which may be useful since they could more easily have different
maintainers too.  It'd also mean that you wouldn't have to have
languages installed (or at least, on the system, perhaps not
createlang'd) if you didn't want them, etc, etc.
