That means suppose there's a package called foo, if I want to have
Japanese descriptions for the file, I need to install another package,
say, foo-desc_ja?
That seems to be an overkill and very tedious for the users.
I can see that the benefit is easier to manage on the maintainer's side,
because he doesn't need to take care all the translations submissions.
But from the user point of view, the one-package-for-all scheme looks like
to be the best.
