Bug#566120: kde-l10n: please provide kde-l10n-all



Ana,

since you forgot to CC me with your last answer, i never got it. please
don't forget to cc submitters when replying to bugs.

regarding the bug: if i want to create a live system that has all
localizations for kde, i have two possibilities now which are equally bad:

  * look up the package names for all kde-l10n packages for a specific
    release and list them. this has problems:

    - when there are new translations added in newer releases, i have to
      maintain that list and constantly update it.

    - i have to maintain different lists for different debian releases.

    - it's a manual process.

  * look up the packge names by e.g. running some apt-cache search foo
    and extract the packages names from that.

    this is bad since it's a useless additional logic needed that can
    be avoided in the first place.

the right thing to do, as several other -l10n packages in debian do
since long time, is to have a -l10n-all meta package depending on all of
the translations. that way, we can just install that package and be done
with it.

hope that is enough to explain, let me know if you need it more verbose :)
