language-pack upgrades are fragile

This is actually due to bug #13747, but we need to work around it since that will
take time to fix, so we'll leave this bug open to represent that process.

Short of shipping empty update packages until #7401 is fixed, does anybody have
an idea for a nonintrusive workaround?

[Matt Zimmerman (mdz)]

I can't think of any other practical workaround, no

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Okay, uploaded fresh set of language packs with empty update packages for now.
