Which directories are you referring to? Concrete examples, please!
The base facility (telling dpkg not to install into certain

you tell which languages you're interested in) which would forbid the
necessary directories automatically.

If you put french stuff under /usr/share/doc/fr/ or
/usr/share/info/fr/ this works.
