Here's how I understand it: For an MSI package (unlike an MSM package) you only specify one LCID for the Package element's Languages attribute. If you omit it, it will be considered a language neutral package. This is stored in the Template Summary property of the MSI, which you can see by opening it with Orca and going to View -> Summary Information.
The Package element is evaluated by the end user's computer to see what languages the MSI supports and to see if those languages are installed. If not, there'll be an error. Once it actually start to install the package, it uses the Language attribute from the Product element to display messages correctly. You might set the Product element's Language attribute to a WiX localization variable so that it can change depending upon the .wxl file being used. I usually omit the Package element's Languages attribute, or set it to "0".
