Nothing against this specific package, but am I the only one to find all
these mozilla-*-locale-* source packages are a huge waste of human
resources and a complete mess for our users? Specific language packages
for big hogs like KDE or OOo make sense, but we have already 42 separate
*source* packages for mozilla l10n stuff, all having to be upgraded
simultaneously with every new mozilla version.

If mozilla's upstream is not able to deal with i18n at all, maybe we
could start a central mozilla-locale project, at least to group all
these sources in a single package for which upgrades would be easier.

Otherwise, when will this madness end?
