[Bug 204618] [NEW] [hardy beta] removing mozilla-firefox-locale-en-gb breaks -en lang support

[Christer Edwards]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: mozilla-firefox-locale-en-gb

I was trying to clean out all things firefox and reduce the package
footprint on my machine (4G total HDD in EeePC).  Removing mozilla-
firefox-locale-en-gb appears to break a number of things, and requires
the installation of thunderbird??  See below.
