ubuntu-edu-preschool pulls in piles and piles of language packs

[Scott Kitterman]

Depends: gcompris, gcompris-data, kanagram, khangman, ktuberling, tuxpaint, tuxpaint-data, tuxpaint-stamps-default
Recommends: gcompris-sound-cs, gcompris-sound-da, gcompris-sound-de, gcompris-sound-en, gcompris-sound-es, gcompris-sound-eu, gcompris-sound-fi, gcompris-sound-fr, gcompris-sound-hu, gcompris-sound-it, gcompris-sound-mr, gcompris-sound-nl, gcompris-sound-pt, gcompris-sound-ptbr, gcompris-sound-ru, gcompris-sound-so, gcompris-sound-sv, gcompris-sound-tr

The above recommends pull in about 10MB of language pack per language, for example:

Get:44 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main language-pack-it 1:9.10+20091022 [2,016B]
Get:45 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main language-pack-it-base 1:9.10+20091022 [2,508kB]
Get:46 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main language-pack-gnome-it 1:9.10+20091022 [2,028B]
Get:47 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/main language-pack-gnome-it-base 1:9.10+20091022 [4,361kB]

So I'm currently downloading about 200MB of language packs I don't need. Please drop these to suggests.
