No, it's handled automatically. KDe language packs are installed when
kdelibs5-data is installed on the system. As all KDE apps should depend
on this library, running language-selector manually after you installed
the KDE app should pull the correct language-packs.
Similar is true for Gnome apps, which depend on libgnome2-common.

The missing functionality here is automatic dependency handling in
apt/synaptic/software-center. This is planned for Lucid as this issue is
a bit complex.

The current shortcomings have been mentioned in the release notes.
