A lot of people seemed to want to earn cheap Karma by translating all
the upstream English strings ("C") into "en_US" (which is identical).
This causes language-pack-*-en to be very large without providing any
real value. CD space is precious, so we strip out the identical
strings to shrink them dramatically.
