I would prefere this one. But with full description
control-lang_teritory.encoding (there may be differences for different
territories (Spain - Brasil, France - Belgium ...))
But you can have local description even now. Just change descriptions
in Packages file. It works, but it must be updated when Packages file
is updated. I did that with czech descriptions on czech debian mirror,
but it is not a real solution.
