How can I trim LC_MESSAGES?

[montefin <montefin@finux.com>]

Hi,

I have potato on a smallish HDD. I need to trim every meg possible.

/usr/share/locale is using about 24Mb for various foreign language
LC_MESSAGES.

Can I remove some of the language directories there by hand without
hurting anything? dselect, dpkg and apt-get say packages (locale-zh,
locale-ro, locale-ru, etc.) are not installed.

Thanks,

montefin
