Right. At the moment we expect those maintaining the language
specific tasks to decide which 'extra' languages to install. I
believe it is a good compromize between those that do not want to have
too many language options in the KDE menu, and those that want to have
as many language options as we can reasonable fit.

I believe translations take a lot of space. Not sure how much, but
those are among our bigger .debs.

Right. Should probably drop memtester completely from our task files
if it is useless. I did not have time to evaluate, so I left it there
for others to have a look.

Then I guess the language specific tasks for .de and .da should be
updated. Feel free to do it.

Research suggest otherwise. See
<URL:http://labs.google.com/papers/disk_failures.pdf> for the article.
Based on this research, I concluded that SMART info can not predict
failure, and was useless.
