Yes, the install (and maybe draklocale) modify /etc/rpm/macros :
<A HREF="http://svnweb.mageia.org/soft/drakx/trunk/perl-install/lang.pm?revision=4265&view=markup#l1100">http://svnweb.mageia.org/soft/drakx/trunk/perl-install/lang.pm?revision=4265&view=markup#l1100</A>
Maybe this should be changed to modify/create /etc/rpm/macros.install_langs
instead ?
We can also remove /etc/rpm/macros from rpm package.
