Humm
On CL9 we have around 2500 packages for all i18n
To show an example:

 - Docs are splitted per aplication:
kde-i18n-pt_BR-docs-kdeaddons-kate-plugins-3.1.1-26675cl.noarch.rpm
kde-i18n-pt_BR-docs-kdeaddons-kicker-applets-3.1.1-26675cl.noarch.rpm
kde-i18n-pt_BR-docs-kdeaddons-konq-plugins-3.1.1-26675cl.noarch.rpm
And so on..

- Messages are splitted per module:
kde-i18n-pt_BR-messages-common-3.1.94-41819cl.noarch.rpm
kde-i18n-pt_BR-messages-kdeaccessibility-3.1.94-41819cl.noarch.rpm
kde-i18n-pt_BR-messages-kdeaddons-3.1.94-41819cl.noarch.rpm
kde-i18n-pt_BR-messages-kdeadmin-3.1.94-41819cl.noarch.rpm

If someone wats have all lang messages , all lang docs, all lang files or 
insane all i18n, we have mata-packages

kde-i18n-pt_BR-messages = requires all message packages to lang and apt 
installs all

kde-i18n-pt_BR-docs = requires all doc packages to lang and install all

kde-i18n-pt_BR = requires meta lang kde-i18n-messages and kde-i18n-docs

kde-i18n = requires all kde-i18n-<LANG>, so we covered all possibilities

Jus a note, the decision to have per module message files was taken since the 
size of messages per module is inexpressive when compressed under rpm, and 
plit messages per application would generate a rpm with more header size the 
real content. This, of course  not apply to docs in general

Other note about spec fiel, i'm working with sub-specs loaded by macro defines 
on main spec. This allow me to build just the desired langs padding flags to 
rpm or even take the sub-specs for the especifica language and generate just 
that
