To be clear, we install glibc-all-langpacks and glibc-langpack-en.
Most packages have all languages, but some don't because it's a lot to
add. Notably, we don't ship all the language packages for Firefox,
Thunderbird, and LibreOffice on live media because they are fairly
large enough to be subpackaged out. A gracious estimate is that adding
those in would increase the size of all live media by at least 400MB,
so it's not a simple matter to resolve while remaining within our
existing constraints.

If we could do package post-install steps in Anaconda, that would
probably be the most effective solution. In the past, the Anaconda
folks have strongly resisted allowing that for live installs, though.
