Yesterday, there was 5178 (source) packages, so as Wichert says, in 5 years,
things may be different. Until then, we can split the descriptions in
several packages, or get each existing package providing the translation if
you really prefere. The problems are not inherent to our proposal. With
10,000 packages and more than 30 supported language, a lot of material have
to fit anywhere...
