Oh, you're right. I was fooled because when I wanted to install
maxima-emacs, dselect proposed to install *both* tetex-extra and
texlive; the former pulled all the -lang packages, but I didn't pay
enough attention and mistakenly thought it was the latter.

Therefore, I'm not closing the bug, though it's less annoying than what
I initially thought.
