Created attachment 132519 [details, diff] respect LINGUAS and detect new translations in the upstream tarball Here's the first draft of a patch both to handle the existing message catalogs, and to detect the addition of new translations in the upstream tarball.
This has nothing to do with LINGUAS as such. Please learn to use INSTALL_MASK instead, as documented in make.conf(5), if you want to prevent unwanted files from being installed.
Changing reason.

Good news, everyone! I have added LINGUAS support after struggling with Makefile.in for quite a bit to get it not to hardcode locales but reuse the existing wildcard use instead. I am sending that patch (which works independent of our LINGUAS hacking) upstream. Meanwhile, you can test 9.1.1 (which is masked for being a "development version, anyway) and see if removing (among 25) the Kyrgyz and Nynorsk language works for you. Please reopen this bug report if something is still wrong.
Ad. comment #2 I'd rather see LINGUAS procedures extended to act like INSTALL_MASK for locale files so that ebuilds need not to worry about them. Ad. comment #6 sysstat-9.1.1 has installed without Kyrgyz and Nynorsk ;) and everything else except Polish. Let's see how it works.
