Just as a note, I really don't think this really solves the core issue. VTE is embedded *all over the place*, especially as "see more" features for GUI application managers, and the apt text interface is particularly prone to being completely incomprehensible as a result of bug #263822. Adding mlterm automatically through langpack when installing RTL languages may help alleviate some user pain, but it's a trivial workaround to install it manually, and it's only needed for certain terminal applications: many users will happily use the system without ever using a terminal and so will only be exposed to the embedded VTE interfaces, so never benefit from the installation of mlterm.
