No, no, acting on base of the installed locales is a bad idea. Locales
are about people using the machine (logged on to it), but Mailman
languages are about people accessing a website hosted by the
machine. These things are mostly orthogonal.

Besides, unless you put every language in a separate package, the disk
space requirements don't (really) shrink: One still needs the space
(temporarily) at install time and at upgrade time.
