I should be more accurate here:

If your package uses linguas_* use conditionals for downloading
additional language bundles in SRC_URI, for pulling in additional
dependencies, or for anything else that isn't gettext related, then
the linguas_* flags should be renamed to l10n_*.

On the other hand, if the package uses LINGUAS in its functions as
gettext variable, you should do nothing at this point. Especially, you
should currently keep all linguas_* flags in IUSE.
