Finally some time to look at this again...

Yup, that is definitely the heart of the matter! Installing another
language replicates lots of JS/CSS/image stuff from opac-tmpl/prog/en/
to e.g. opac-tmpl/prog/nb-NO/ and then the packaging process comes in
and does it's magic, but only on the stuff in opac-tmpl/prog/en/ and
not on the stuff that has been installed for any other languages.

The weird thing is that it seems to work just fine for the Intranet,
but not for the OPAC... I am not sure why yet.

So far, these are the possibilities I can see:

- Move the JS/CSS stuff out of the language specific directories and
have all languages use this stuff from one and the same location.

- Make debian/rules do it's stuff for all installed languages with
some kind of foreach-loop, if that is possible

- Find another way to handle translations than the process I am trying
now (install the languages, commit the resulting files with git, build
packages with build-git-snapshot)

- Make custom versions of debian/rules to accommodate translations,
I'm currently testing this: http://div.libriotech.no/kohadeb/rules -
the packages are being built as we speak
