Well, I suspect that if we enabled all patterns then some
fmt files could fail to be generated with TeX capacity exceeded
error, if I remembered correctly.
Perhaps ptex and/or jtex might be the case and there could be
some more so I think it is not practical solution to enable
all patterns.

At present I think candidates are;
- improve your nice code (aggressive solution)
- kick out debconf-handling and leave language.dat to user's manual
editing (defensive solution)
Anyway please don't be so haste.
