You don't need tetex-extra anymore. It is now only a transitional
(dummy) package. When it wasn't, it did provide support for all these
languages, which is why the transitional package _has_ to depend on all
these -lang packages, otherwise it would break compatibility.

You don't need tetex-extra anymore. Remove it and chose the exact
functionality you need among the texlive-* packages. If you find a
package that depends on a tetex package with *no* alternative texlive
dependency, file a bug against that package. prosper already has such an
alternative dependency, just in the wrong order.

You didn't examine the dependencies carefully enough. They can be
fulfilled without keeping tetex-extra, and thus without installing all
the -lang packages.
