The amount of work associated with this is too big. It would require extensive coordination with the installer which would need to be able to determine automatically which packages to install. If you want to help the installer guys to extend their code (and they accept it) reopen the bug. Until then I'll close it as WONTFIX. Disk space is cheap. Only downloading updates is bad but then this is something which should be fixed there. Since the file content hardly changes using rsync or so in some form or another should help reducing the cost significantly. Furthermore, when all locales are in one package, they can be hardlinked together (e.g. many locales use the same CTYPE or COLLATE categories with the same charsets, and those are the biggest ones). If that is split into subpackages, we can't do that any longer. |
