I'm also affected by this bug in Kubuntu 10.04. I can't remove a bunch of packages that provide English spelling variants that I don't want: myspell-en-au, myspell-en-za, myspell-en-gb,hunspell-en-ca, and wbritish. If I try to remove the first, KPackageKit wants to remove language-support-writing-en and language-support-en!
Presumably the fix is to simply add some '|' symbols in some package description file for language-support-writing-en to indicate that only one of several alternatives is all that's needed, and/or add some Recommend lines for other English locales.
