Some monthes ago (Feb 2004), Fumitoshi Ukai asked Japanese developpers about this
issue, but no one seems stand.
I don't use jed-ja, slang1-ja, and slrn-ja... and I believe almost Japanese
people don't use them also.
Currently I use slang1a-utf8 as slang library, and haven't a serious problem.
My opinion is "you can remove them".
If these packages are needed by someone in the future, he/she will be
able to get them from snapshot.debian.net or somewhere :-)
Thanks,
