I would like to see this addition as well. My position is that transliterating from unicode at the distro level is going to be much pain.

The only thing I would change would be to add a suggest when translating/transliterating to see what (if any) other distributions have done for said package to maintain some sort of consistency when upstream refuses to provide one.
