Nothing that sounds better. If we split up "extras" in the "main" repo,
my main concern would be solved anyway, so I would be fine with "main"
and "extras" in that case.

do it.

Our build system concept also had a different idea for how developers
should work with OOo: the build already should have created a runnable
instance of OOo, no packaging required. In that case you can build
whatever you want, with extras or without, if it runs it is usable for
developers.

As gbuild already has shown that it works without code changes with or
without "l10n" repo, this is not a problem. I don't remember the
details, but we can look that up when necessary.
