No, because in texlive-binaries-source there are all the arch-depend
bins collected, while all the others are arch=all. This was done on
purpose to reduce the load on the servers and do not make horrible file
duplications.

the *generation* of documents in these languages. They can be used under
all locales, languages, countries,....
