Hello Debian Images Team,
I am using the Debian KDE Plasma live image and noticed that it installs a large number of additional packages, many of which seem to be related to various human languages (e.g., Chinese, Korean, Japanese).
Out of curiosity, I checked the Debian Wiki page for KDE and found that there are four meta-packages available in the Debian repositories for installing KDE Plasma, each with its own set of dependencies. However, when I reviewed the dependency lists of these meta-packages, I could not find all those additional language-related packages listed there.
I would like to understand:
1. Where are these additional packages (especially the language-related ones) defined or listed for the live image build?
2. Why are they included by default in the KDE Plasma live image?
3. How can I prevent their installation if I want a simple, single-language (English-only) KDE Plasma desktop?
My goal is to have a minimal KDE Plasma setup without unnecessary language support packages.
Thank you for your time and clarification.
Best regards,
Mahdi
