Thanks for looking at this. I'm not sure that the Provides are doing what we want though. If the enigmail-locales-xx packages were being pulled in as a dependency of another package, then they should work. However, language-selector is installing the packages directly, so we'd still end up with a similar problem for people installing locales.

Also, update-manager doesn't seem to resolve upgrades too well where package removals are involved. I just tried this and update-manager offered a partial upgrade, which we want to avoid for a SRU really.

Perhaps having empty transitional packages for enigmail-locales-xx might be the better option :/
