And these CLI packages are 99% of the time used in GUI terminals where
they are very well displayed.

This comment could be made for all complex languages as well
(combining Asian languages). I think that disabling translations for
all complex languages *because* they are badly displayed at the
console (which, nowadays, nobody is using anymore, let's be
realistic!) is completely the wrong answer to the problem.

apt commands, in an Hebrew locale, display perfectly well in
gnome-terminal, konsole and any other application that properly deals
with LTR on any system that has the appropriate font(s). The same
stands for Khmer, Dzongkha, Thai, etc. 

I know that l10n effort has been stopped on CLI apps for Hebrew for
such reasons...and I still believe these are wrong reasons, but I
can't force you guys to reconsider this..:-).....but please don't try
or suggest this could be applied to everything, and particularly to
other languages.

And, btw, Hebrew translations are disabled in apt since 0.7.25 (Debian
bug #534992). So, this bug report should be closed in Launchpad as I
guess this is fixed in recent Ubuntu versions. Finding which one is an
exercise left to the reader (and to those people who are able to find
their way in the jungle of Ubuntu versions).
