Yeah, I'm just wondering if it's worth it installing fonts for a
language that's only 10% translated in the desktop (for example.)

The alternative is to still kick out ekiga (sorry, it's pretty large),
and find the rest of the space somewhere else.
Kicking the debuginfo out of mono-core should give us on the order of

add a comment explaining the rationale and where the data came from.
