Comment 7 for bug 572018

(This bug is a bit annoying, as it is preventing gnome-language-selector from doing it's automatic install thing.)

According to http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=448878 :
" since a few versions already, enigmail does include the localization
  files itself, making thus enigmail-locales not needed anymore,
  therefore, please remove enigmail-locales from the archive. "

And a quick inspection of the Ubuntu enigmail source package indeed reveals a number of (I guess) pretty complete translations. All languages that had separate XPIs shipped in enigmail-locales before have been included. Two quick tests show these localizations in action with just the enigmail package.

Considering that the current enigmail-locale-XX packages just cannot work in lucid (not only the binary package dependencies are too strict, the dependencies of the included XPIs are also), were not translated via launchpad anyhow, and the existing translations have moved already, I propose the following way forward:
 1. Use this bug to track the removal of enigmail-locale-XX (and src: enigmail-locales) from lucid and maverick. Not sure what the Ubuntu process is for this.
 2. De-dup bug #588254 and update language-selector in lucid to no longer try installing enigmail-locale-XX.
 3. If new user contributed translations ever appear, just update the enigmail package.

Thoughts ?
