Bug description:
On the live CD, one of the biggest directories is /usr/share/gnome/help/, which contains localized XML and PNG files. It would be nice if pkgstriptranslations would remove those from packages and put them into the translation tarballs. Initially, Rosetta should just ship them verbatim in the exported tarballs for langpack building. Later it could even support generating them dynamically from PO files and ship the updated ones to the langpack builder.
