Another point of view would be to push Debian to have a global solution for
translation packages and have some intelligence in apt so that apt-get
install koffice will install automatically the translation package
corresponding to your locale and have a new option in apt like apt-get
install -translation=de kmail
But Daniel Stone wrote an e-mail saying that this kind of behaviour would
violate Debian Policy. I still don't understand really why it is such an
heresy but it must be my ignorance.
But it doesn't solve your problem now. My point of view is to create separates
i18n packages for koffice because of the different release cycles even if it
adds to the entropy of Debian repositories.
