Me too -- or maybe I should say "moi aussi".

I've tried to prevent the installation of many many unneeded megabytes
of translation files in /usr/share/locale/* but I've never succeeded.
ATM I have 101MB of *.mo translation files in /usr/share/locale even
though I deleted all of them less than a month ago.

I unset the 'nls' useflag in the hope it would solve the problem, but
no joy.
