When was this API added to gnome-desktop? Fine if this really isn't used by anything still.

Currently they would only be installed when doing a non-English install, after installation the only way is for the user to install language- selector. We want to allow for users to be able to install language packs via the gnome-control-center region panel. I had a set of patches from 3.6/3.8 era that implemented this, and got quite a bit of testing, but sat and bit-rot until now. The packagekit code, which is the bulk of the changes was well tested back then. Basically there are two patches to gnome-control-center: 1. provides an API for installing language packs using packagekit what provides and the 'Modify' dbus helpers. 2. Integrates this into the UI, I've hi-jacked the "More Languages" dialog this time, which provides much simpler integration than the previous approach, technically that breaks UI Freeze, but currently it's completely disabled, so shouldn't be a problem documentation wise, not that we have any documentation really. gnome-desktop requires a simple one liner patch, that changes the format of the locale code strings sent to g-c-c, I suppose this could be considered breaking API, but that API was added specifically for this feature and has been unused the last few cycles.
