I don't really think this is a good idea since many people don't want to 
install the devel packages and without them you can't really compile 
anything without a huge effort. Compared with the localization packages 
it isn't that many. Just a suggestion might be to include subdirectories 
for these plugins and localizations in the distribution directories to 
make it easier to get an overview of the files.
