Call for testing: langpack updates for 20.04.2

[Lukasz Zemczak]

Hey Sebastien, Gunnar,

As a clarification for why I also considered this being relatively
safe: I wrote a really simple sanity-checker script that compares the
new base pack set against the previous one, listing any dropped .po
files and if any shrunk suspiciously below a set threshold. Since the
biggest worry when doing base refreshes is that some language-packs
might simply be generated wrongly or even empty. This gives a little
bit extra confidence in refreshing all languages.
There's always risk, but I think this way might be more beneficent to
the whole ecosystem. Let's see how it works out!

Cheers,
