Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: oem-config
When performing a factory installation, multiple language packs may be
installed on the system since it's destination may be unknown.
Normally, the user will select their language when OEM config is first
launched.
After a fresh Intrepid install, there are roughly 715 updates available because
of so many language packs being updated after Intrepid's launch.
It doesn't necessarily make sense to keep all the alternate language packs
installed when OEM config finishes. Additionally it would save on user's
bandwidth if extra languages were removed.
In the event that more than one language pack is preinstalled, I think
an option should be added to the end of the OEM config wizard to remove
extra language support. This should be pre-selected, but disableable by
OEMs who would prefer it not turned on by default.
A small mouse over should explain a little better what the ramifications
would be as well as if possible the amount of disk space that would be
freed by removing extra language support.
