raring iso beta2 - incomplete language support

Excellent, thanks Vasudevan.

So open question to the release team -- should these two packages be on 
the iso?
hyphen-en-us
thunderbird-locale-en

(I reckon for all default languages they are missing as well).

I checked the filesystem manifest for the latest raring iso and indeed 
these are missing. And we prompt then upon login to install them if you 
do a non-network english install. My guess is for our supported 
languages we should include these packages. Thoughts?
