Actually, if you do this then what happens is:

1. you request all these languages in this order
2. depending on what translations are available, apt is going to show
you these languages in this preference order. For example, in apt-cache
search, or apt-cache show... so if some package has been danish
localized, and you speak english, you will get the danish ones first.

You can of course set your preferred language to be first in this list,
but then you will be requesting that first, which still betrays your
language preference.

I'm guessing a better fix would be that this transport fetches all
possible languages in a random order, dumps them all to /dev/null except
your locale
