So on my system, I currently have the following language pack .debs installed:

language-pack-en
language-pack-en-base
language-pack-gnome-en
language-pack-gnome-en-base

And there is a language-pack-kde-en package I could install for
additional KDE specific localisation.  So there already seems to have
been an attempt to provide more focused localisation.

If we wanted to use language packs on the Ubuntu Touch image, it
doesn't seem out of the question to provide language packs that cover
only the touch image, which should minimise the storage impact.
