It appears to me that there is one install package per platform, then 
you get to pick and choose the language you want to use for you own 
package.  That could be much easier than trying to make up to 7 
platforms for each language needed/wanted.  If you first creates 7 
generic platforms and use the language packs like you would a add on, 
then all you have to do is make language packs and not worry about 
re-compiling the full package for each platform when someone come up 
with a new language for LibreOffice to be used with.

I could be very wrong, but it seems easier to separate the language from 
the packages and then "include" the needed ones at the install time.

Also, would you need to change a language pack every time you update the 
package?  Hopefully not.
