+- No longer recommend gnome-desktop-lang: the lang package has
+  relevant supplements which pulls it in whenever needed.
+- Move /usr/share/locale/en from the -lang package to the main
+  package: English is installed on all systems. This avoids
+  gnome-desktop-lang being triggered for installation on
+  english-only systems.
