I already proposed a system containing this http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-0004/msg01166.html It could also make the /usr/share shareable, contain this and reduce the amount of space for the language-files as auomatically installing the needed. (When good implemented it could also allow to add a new laguage for all already installed packages). But I did not get any result, so I centered my work on other projects.
