[Bug 1294858] [NEW] Installer does not install all language support packages

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Public bug reported:

My very first own package, mythes-sv, has just been sponsored into
Debian and Ubuntu. :)

It's a Swedish thesaurus for LibreOffice, and if I install Swedish via
language-selector, it's pulled as expected through /usr/share/language-
selector/data/pkg_depends.

However, when I did a fresh install with Swedish as the selected
language, and connected to Internet, mythes-sv was not installed at
first login. My first theory was that it might be due to the fact that
it's in universe, but when I opened language-selector, there were
several other language support packages missing, most of them in main.

I would think that the desired behavior is that as long as you are
connected to the net while installing, the installer should pull all the
applicable language support packages, not only some of them. So the only
situation when language-selector should need to prompt you about not
installed language support packages when you open it should be if one or
more packages were added to the archive.
