I don't think we should be pessimistic. IIRC apt developpement
seems now more open than in the past. (the next version is i18n-ed)
I think that a better hack than a simple hack on pining had to be done.
As well as people choose their apt-sources, they should also be able to
set their favorite languageS. (I insist on plural)
Moreover according the next DWN, this topic is not only resctricted
to debian-18n. In the upcoming DWN we could read :
" Maintaining Multilingual Documentation.
Craig Sanders [1] noted that an increasing number of large
language-specific packages is entering the Debian archives. He
suggested that those packages would be collected in a
language-specific subdirectory of the /doc/ directory.
However,
since he would like this to happen beneath the pool directory instead of
the (virtual) package section, it's rather unlikely to happen. "
