Bug Description

Binary package hint: language-selector

Since the language support packages of zh has been separated into two groups named after zh-hans and zh-hant, I think language-selector should not still set all selection about zh associated to language-support-zh but change them separately to language-support-zh-hans and language-support-zh-hant. By doing this, users can avoid many unnecessary download when they install language support during/after Ubuntu installation, it's not a difficult work but will benefit users a lot.

For upgrading purposes transitional packages for all language-pack-*-zh and language-support-*-zh packages have been created, so that users get both, Simplified and Traditional Chinese packages installed. The transitional packages can be removed after upgrading.

The entry for "Chinese" should actually not show up anymore in the list.

Unnecessary packages such as
language-support-zh-hant
language-support-zh-hant-base
language-pack-gnome-zh-hant
language-pack-gnome-zh-hant-base

Other problem about ibus input methods.The language-selector tools will install follow packages in Simplified Chinese language environment.

ibus-pinyin
ibus-table-cangjie
ibus-table-erbi
ibus-table-extraphrase
ibus-table-wubi
ibus-table-yong

There are four input methods on ibus imput method platform.Cangjie,Erbi,Wubi and Yong are not favorites input methods,but these four method table packages more than 60MB.It's too big volume.The language-selector tools help users finish fast confurgure user language environment.Setup too many input methods are not necessary.Contrary,it cost users too many time to download these package.60MB!!It means long time.if we only have 8kb/s download speed.

I think the language-selector tools only install ibus-pinyin and ibus-table-extraphrase in Simplified Chinese language environment.That is enough!
