Bug description:
  [Impact] 
  When dealing with bug 1103547 it was considered appropriate to let language-selector start checking for missing language support packages for all installed languages. At first hand it's the fix of 'the hunspell issue' in bug 1103547 that is anxious to backport as an SRU. This bug is related to bug 1103547 in such a way that it's reasonable to backport also the fix of this bug as an SRU.

  [Test Case]
  Steps to reproduce:
  * On an updated Precise (and assuming that French was not already installed), install French via the "Installed Languages" window in Language Support.
  * Close Language Support
  * Remove hunspell-fr:
    sudo dpkg -r hunspell-fr
  * Start Language Support and note that you are not prompted to install the missing package hunspell-fr.

  [Regression Potential]
  Besides the proposed change to LanguageSelector.py, and to prevent undesired side effects, we identified a need to:
  * backport https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/accountsservice/0.6.29-1ubuntu5, and
  * modify available_languages() in language_support_pkgs.py to safely exclude non-installed languages.
  Given those supplementary changes (which are included in this SRU request), the regression risk should be low.
