I do think it makes sense and is useful.

I have mostly thought about the 'translation pack' issues, and I guess
it needs some sort of relation in the package.
I was thinking in lines of a new field:
Package: konqueror
Translations: kde-l10n-XX
or 
Package: konq-plugins
Translations: konq-plugins-l10n

where apt would substitute XX with configured language codes and try to
install that, and apt in the latter case if configured to pull in
translations, pull in that package.

But maybe I like your more generic approach better.
