Excuse me, which message do you mean? When my patch is applied, the only
hyphenation pattern loaded by default is the one for
USenglish=american. The others are asked for by debconf, and I don't
think more needs to be done. Also, regarding Atsuhito's remark in
#183481:

I think that only USenglish is really needed for samples etc. There
might be some french or german documentation around, but usually only
for package tightly linked to the usage of the language. Therefore
anyone that wants to read these docs will also enable the hyphenation
patterns in the debconf question, I guess.
