Not minimizing your pain, but I don't understand the problem.  The
language packs are pretty small - all told they come out to about 17MB
on my system.  Even if you don't use them, then that's not a lot of disk
space or network transfer volume.  If you ever do need them, they're
pretty nice to have.
