openoffice.org-help-en-us is not installed as part of localisation, it's
installed because users expect to get help when they pull down the help
menu in their word processor, not an error message. That's quite
distinct from all the other openoffice.org-help-* which are installed
only for localisation purposes.

myspell-en-* is likewise installed because users expect a word processor
to have spell checking, not as part of localisation.
openoffice.org-thesaurus-en-us ditto.

openoffice.org-l10n-en-us is a dependency of openoffice.org-common. OOo
won't run without it. So I'll remove it from the task but that won't
actually change anything.

*-en-gb seems to be included merely for political correctness[1], and I
will just remove them until someone gets around to fixing #305132.

    occurances of "us" and "gb" in the above mail.
