Hi there,

I cannot agree more, I worked on belocs-locales-data in order to gather
locales from any sources, without distinction.  I am really a big
supporter of Mandriva when it comes to locales, Pablo Saratxaga made an
impressive job.

Of course you can include all the requested locales, 
Previous posts by Erdal may have rung some bell on your side,
belocs-locales-data can no more be installed because your language packs
have versioned dependencies on the locales package,
