I think that the language packs should remain unchanged as they are 
often downloaded to enhance people's installation. For example, on my 
OOo installations at home I have the regular Eng; UK Eng; French and 
Spanish language packs. The installer would have been downloaded 3 times 
for nothing as all I wanted was the language pack.
