Albert,

I don't think the issue is the removal of the translations, rather the fact 
that the locale-code hne isn't defined in ISO 639-1 & ISO 639-2.

My reading of Chhattisgarhi_language[1] shows that the ISO 639-3 code is 
"hne", whilst the ISO 639-2 code for this family is "inc".

I am raising this as an inconsistency. If we are accepting ISO 639-3 locales 
then that is fine too and we will fix lintian.

W: kipi-plugins: unknown-locale-code hne
N: 
N:    The package appears to ship locales for a language but uses an unknown
N:    locale code as a subdirectory of /usr/share/locale. This usually results
N:    in users of the intended target language not finding the locale. The
N:    language codes used in the locale directories are those from the ISO
N:    639-1 and ISO 639-2 standards, not those usually used as TLDs (which are
N:    from the ISO 3166 standard).
N:    
N:    It is possible that the language code was mistyped or incorrectly
N:    guessed from the language's or country's name.

N:    Refer to http://www.loc.gov/standards/iso639-2/php/code_list.php for
