Since the language packs are organized by language, and not by language/country (then there would be even more of them), each language specific one needs to provide all existing country dialects, yes. E. g. for English you need U.S., British, Australian, Southafrican, etc.; for Spanish you need Spain, Argentina, etc. So the installer would need to install at least language-support-translations-en; this would get rid of language-support-writing-en (dictionaries, etc.) and language-pack-en (UI translations), and save a few MB. Due to the reasons Colin pointed out, I think that installing them all by default is still a good choice. It comes on the CD, so you don't need to download them during installation, and after installation you can always remove them completely with System -> Administration -> Languages.
