(...) Mmm, interesting question. I have "es" (Spanish) and "en" (English) locales in my wheezy system and get sporadic updates for both -sometimes Spanish, sometimes English and sometimes for both- package descriptions but true is that I never paid attention on this because I guess it only affects to "descriptions" not the packages nor application themselves :-? Anyway, I would also like to know how this is managed, I mean, if language package descriptions updates depend on the number of locale(s) defined in the system or if it takes their settings from another source.
