The iso-codes case is probably unique in that it actually fails to
build.

The cups brokennes is subtle: it builds with all of the languages it
knows about enabled regardless of the user's settings.  Presumably,
the result still actually works.

It looks like most of the other broken packages just get rebuilt with
no languages supported (which means they probably still work for an
english speaker).

I suspect that at some point, the only way you can get people to fix
the last handful of packages is to force the issue by implementing the
change that causes them to fail/misbehave.
