So you have no idea how the files could get lost?  They're in the deb,
it's an arch-all package, so it shouldn't happen (like most bugs...).
But this is not the only case (just google for "update-language: command
not found", or http://bugs.debian.org/344538, or "build problems on
sarti" on the hppa list).  Might there be some "real reason"?
