Thanks for the technical details, it's not about the difficulty of
implementing it, I gave you other reasons for the refusal which
altogether make me doubt I will do it:
- small supplementary cost in maintenance,
- implementation (you provided some kind of patch to implement it),
- "-common" is not there to save _you_ space but to save space on the
archive, acknowledging that I create packages to save space on the
user system means I could be pushed to ship one package per
localization, and that's a no no,
- dpkg might offer two new features which could solve your problem.

No the implementation itself is not the problem, just a lot of reasons
which together make it too much effort, risk, and complexity for a
small (1 MB) gain.
