I will use the
texlive-lang-<longname>
due to the following reasons:
. the packages are *not* about locales, l10n, nor i18n, it is about
writing in this language, which can be done under any locale. It is
no localization of TeX, but support for typesetting these
languages
. keep the <longname> out of the same reasons
Best wishes
