I know, I know… but building the devel branch is still quite a hassle
for me, my 30G disc, my hacked WiFi connection and the third worldish
ISP of my neighbor so I didn't have a devel chroot built when I did
that. This should improve quite soon and I'll have a second look for
unneeded files.

The localepurge in squeeze should now clean the Gnome files, see #221636.
Regarding the scribus files I just submitted a bug for localepurge:
#610215. I guess it will be rejected since the developer doesn't seem to
be keen on applying patches that are not so generic. But let's see how
this goes.

Sounds funny.
