Bug Description

I have installed JJ remix on my son's eeePC 701. The Asus was ordered in Germany and has a german keyboard.
I decided to replace the Xandros when for some reason my son could not longer connect on the home network.
He decided that come to think of it, he'd rather have a french speaking environment. Everything went fine, but there was very little space left on the hard disk. so I dpkg-l |less to see where I could save space and I deleted at least 5 english dictionnaries (aspell-gb|us, myspell-gb|us|za) from memory. Why are those installed when the french version was installed correctly and is all he needs ? On subnotebooks, HD space is limited, so it might be nice to have a post-install routine that weeds out unecessary things. If the user wants it back, after all it is only an apt-get install away.
Cheers

The default install for UNR does not install things like gimp or any of its dependencies. This can, however, happen by installing something, then removing it without removing it completely.
