That makes some sense...

We could use the --instLangs parameter, indeed. However, this nukes all 
locales of a language... we used that in the early days when I started 
doing SoaS composes, but stopped at some point before the Strawberry 
release to make sure not to exclude anything.

Generally, help with slimming the current image (so the nightlies) would 
be really appreciated. I gotta look into that at some point, too.
