I just installed all the task-<language>-desktop packages on my computer
using equivs and a Depends field populated by the output of the following
command, run from the tasks directory of the tasksel package.

    find . -maxdepth 1 -type f | xargs grep -l '^Task:'|
      xargs grep-dctrl --exact-match -FSection l10n --and -FEnhances desktop -sTask -n |
      grep -v -e gnome -e kde | sed -e 's/^/ task-/' -e 's/$/,/'

The good news is that they are all co-installable.  The bad news is that not
all software are able to pick correctly the appropriate font.  In particular,
epiphany and chromium now display Chinese characters with Chinese glyphs even
for texts where the indicated language is Japanese.  Fortunately, iceweasel
picks the right fonts.

If it were posssible to tackle such issues after the Wheezy release, then I
think that it would be worth to give our users the choice to install all
localisation tasks.  I think that I can write a patch where debian/control
would be refreshed from a template, so that at each upload the meta-task would
be always comprehensive.

Have a nice week-end,

Hi,

I can't think of a reason why this meta package would be a bad thing, so
feel free to send a patch. :)

Mraw,

This approach would always be a corner case?
Which (average) user would be wanting all language tasks?

Since there has been no progress for 4 years, I'm tagging this bug as wontfix.
