Wrong language-selector package blacklisted

Just a quick note after having talked to Gabor on IRC: it seems that at least gnome-language-selector is indeed translated on the LiveCD. Tested it with Spanish on the 10.04 LTS RC LiveCD

Also:
(17.48.43) dpm: ahhh, now I understand the question... It seems I'm a bit slow today
(17.48.49) dpm: ok, here's my take
(17.49.42) dpm: in short, if you want to change language on the LiveCD, you can't, so I don't think g-l-s should be translated in the Live CD until there is a way to change language. With that I mean:
(17.50.41) dpm: if you try to switch between languages included in the LiveCD you can't, because you have to log out and back in, with the corresponding loss of settings
(17.51.13) dpm: if you try to install a new language, you can't, since you get a "insufficient space on device" error
(17.51.37) dpm: That said, I haven't checked it with USB creator and a permanent home dir
(17.51.45) danilos: dpm, maybe you can remove Spanish first and then install another language? :)
(17.51.48) dpm: but in that case, you can just install the language pack
(17.52.04) dpm: danilos, tried that already, I removed them all, no luck :)
(17.52.16) danilos: dpm, heh, ok, just guessing here

 IIRC, I made an USB key that worked well in Hungarian, so in this specific case may make sense to install language support. However, thinking about it a bit more, it does not seem to have much benefit from shipping translations in this package: those brave few who use USB-based systems other than installation, should be experienced enough - and for those not, the installer is already localized.

Right, seems we can just drop it from the blacklist then. Thank you!

This bug was fixed in the package pkgbinarymangler - 70

---------------
pkgbinarymangler (70) maverick; urgency=low

  * Move "PPA" check from dpkg-deb to pkgmaintainermangler and
    pkgstriptranslations. We want to call pkgsanitychecks for PPA builds as
    well, and also control behaviour for PPAs individually for each mangler.
  * pkgstriptranslations: Run if we are building in an OEM PPA. If the built
    package is in Ubuntu main, strip translations from it. However, introduce
    a blacklist of OEM projects (oem_blacklist in striptranslations.conf)
    which are close or past release, to not inflict this rather intrusive
    change on them.
  * debian/control: Update Maintainer field from myself to Ubuntu Developers.
  * Add debian/source/format: 3.0 (native).
  * debian/control: Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.0.
  * Apply a consistent indentation to all source files (4 spaces, expand
    tabs).
  * dpkg-deb: Replace hardcoded paths with "which", to allow local testing.
  * Replace hardcoded "/CurrentlyBuilding" path with a $BUILDINFO variable set
    in "common", to allow local testing.
  * Add test/icecream: Test source package building two binary packages
    "vanilla" and "chocolate" with two po/mo files each.
  * Allow changing the path of "common" with $PKGBINARYMANGLER_COMMON_PATH.
  * Allow changing the configuration file directory path with
    $PKGBINARYMANGLER_CONF_DIR.
  * pkgmaintainermangler: Allow changing the path to the override file with
    $PKMAINTAINERGMANGLER_OVERRIDES.
  * Add test/run: Test suite for checking the scripts/config files in the
    local build tree in a sandbox on the "icecream" test package. Cover all
    current scenarios: main/universe/PPA/OEM/NO_PKG_MANGLE/partner/local/no
    mangler.
  * debian/rules: Run tests during build, and have a failed test suite fail
    the build. Add python and fakeroot build dependencies for this.
  * Add debian/pkgbinarymangler.lintian-overrides: We divert "dpkg-deb", no
    need to ship a manpage for it.
  * striptranslations.blacklist: Drop language-selector. (LP: #570240)
  * test/run: Add test case for updating of Installed-Size. This reproduces
    LP #451764.
  * pkgstriptranslations: Adapt Installed-Size: header in control file if we
    stripped any files. (LP: #451764)
