While shameless copying mozilla-firefox-3.0.12.ebuild to mozilla-firefox-3.0.13.ebuild, tweaking PATCH="..." and making "ebuild mozilla-firefox-3.0.13.ebuild digest" I realized that this pulls all language related files. What about having an option to download only those files which are really necessary for the local system ? Reproducible: Always

When you are calling "digest" you are generating the Manifest file. As such, it has to know the size of everything in SRC_URI. Instead of "having an option to download only those files which are really necessary for the local system" - I say that you should instead modify SRC_URI to download only the files for your local system.
I meant to also say: "Feel free to further discuss why you think this change should happen, but it will introduce breakage in the long run because it is used by developers to commit. Resolving as invalid"
Probably the easiest way is to change SRC_URI too - thx for your response.
