language.dflt is shipped anyway, but a copy of the old one could be
useful. But I think we can also make it in a different way - just look
whether the new patterns have been yet added (manually) to language.dat,
and either suggest to add it, or inform that the pattern file is now
shipped with tetex and can be removed from /usr/local or wherever.

tetex isn't released very often... But next time, at least the swedish
patterns will be added, because they are now free.

That could be done easily with db_subst, yes.
