Bug Description

Hi,

Latest language-support-en package depends on all english localization variants on the same time:

\ Depends
    --- aspell-en
    --- mozilla-firefox-locale-en-gb
    --- myspell-en-gb
    --- myspell-en-us
    --- openoffice.org-help-en-us
    --- openoffice.org-l10n-en-gb
    --- openoffice.org-l10n-en-us
    --- openoffice.org-l10n-en-za
    --- openoffice.org-thesaurus-en-us

I think it's not correct - almost noone will need English_british language package for OpenOffice.org, English_american language package for OpenOffice.org and English_southafrican language package for OpenOffice.org *at* *the* *same* *time*.

Users will need only one of them in majority cases.

Btw, there is also australian (en-au) variant, for example myspell-en-au, openoffice.org-thesaurus-en-au, etc, so, I think it would be wise to make depends like this:

    --- myspell-en-us | myspell-dictionary-en
    --- openoffice.org-help-en-us | openoffice.org-help-en-gb | openoffice.org-help-en-za
    --- openoffice.org-l10n-en-us | openoffice.org-l10n-en-gb | openoffice.org-l10n-en-za
    --- openoffice.org-thesaurus-en-us | openoffice.org-thesaurus-en-gb | openoffice.org-thesaurus-en-za | openoffice.org-thesaurus-en-au

Confirming, this is still the case with Gutsy and Hardy, and is clear enough for a developer to decide what to do.
