Agreed. In localechooser, we currently have:

# Install localization-config only if LANG != en_US or
# arch is powerpc.
if [ "$LANGUAGE" != "C" ] ; then
  if [ "$LANG" != "en_US" -o "$ARCH" = "powerpc" ]; then
    pkginstall localization-config
  fi
fi

I really don't remember why we/I did that, however (comment, always
comment!). There was certainly a reason for not installing l-c for
powerpc....of maybe this is something coming from older
languagechooser versions.
