I do think down prioritizing them makes sense in the current setup.
Though I do also think we have a hole in our dependency system here.
if I set my system up to be in entish, I don't want to chase translation
files all over the package system. It should somehow just happen.
This is just me writing something in a email hoping that someone else
picks it up (this time)
Package: foo
Recommends: foo-LANG <condition: LANG>
And then somehow tell apt how to expand LANG for all relevant languages.
