Currently, "install everything" is treated as a bug - see |

If you ignore LINGUAS and install everything, you break the |
| 18 |
long-established convention for what LINGUAS does, make users angry, |
| 19 |
waste disk space, and increase build time for packages with lots of |
| 20 |
translations - all for no good reason other than forcing uniform |
| 21 |
USE_EXPAND conventions in a place where they aren't wanted. |
