The files in /etc/texmf/language.d/ are combined in alphabetic order to
build up language.dat. So reducing the priority to 20 would be enough.
However, I think the TeX Policy should make this clear, too. Maybe the
file that defines the english hyphenation patterns, which should always
be first, should probably be installed with priority 05 or so.
