Is it better to have one l10n > package or merge them into roxterm-data a la gnome-terminal? Yep - that's because of their size ... roxterm (sid, powerpc) currently ships 408K in /usr/share/. Imho, it's not even worth to ship a -data package. Also, the package currently includes /usr/share/roxterm/roxterm-config.glade (204K) which imho should not be included in the package at all (at least, I don't see a reason for that). It definitely doesn't make any sense to produce a 200K -data package.
