Title:
  [Feature Request] OEM config should offer to purge extra language
  packages or offer command line option to do so

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: oem-config

  When performing a factory installation, multiple language packs may be
  installed on the system since it's destination may be unknown.
  Normally, the user will select their language when OEM config is first
  launched.

  After a fresh Intrepid install, there are roughly 715 updates available because of so many language packs being updated after Intrepid's launch.
  It doesn't necessarily make sense to keep all the alternate language packs installed when OEM config finishes.  Additionally it would save on user's bandwidth if extra languages were removed.

  In the event that more than one language pack is preinstalled, I think
  an option should be added to the end of the OEM config wizard to
  remove extra language support.  This should be pre-selected, but
  disableable by OEMs who would prefer it not turned on by default.

  A small mouse over should explain a little better what the
  ramifications would be as well as if possible the amount of disk space
  that would be freed by removing extra language support.
