Those are the same language packs currently installed on the phone images as well. This is what I meant by them including too much. A very large number of the translations provided by these -base packages are totally not useful on the phone. Heck, a very large number of the translations aren't even applicable to the default install on a PC from the ISO either. It will likely be quite a lot of work to get them split up properly into meaningful packs, and I don't know if there is any plan to invest in doing that.
And while it will help reduce the size to do that cleanup, it doesn't fix the issue of how to upgrade them independently of the image itself, or how to enable translations for other languages not on the image.
