That's a good idea! I think we could have both, like Debian also has a
'tesseract-ocr-all' package for all the languages/scripts. Which means
the individual variants could be added in at a later time by those
interested, eh :-).
A procedure returning a language-specific package variant would make
sense for that.
Thanks,
Maxim
