I thought, plain <p> would *not* to be translated?
However, same procedure.

$ xml ed -d "//*/p[@lang!='x']" /path/to/appdata.xml
resp. (matches all elements, not just <p>)
$ xml ed -d "//*[@lang!='x']" /path/to/appdata.xml

This will delete all (p) elements that have a lang attribute which is not "x"

$ xml ed -d "//*[@lang]" /path/to/appdata.xml
deletes all elements with a lang attribute

You can also select subpaths (//* globs)
$ xml ed -d "//*/div[@align!='center']/*[@lang]" /path/to/appdata.xml

You mean I should simply stress my point with a gun?
Seriously, i'd just ignore such attempts to threaten by "we will ship a crippled package manager that does not show your software".
It's not a very scary "threat" (they'll probably get bug reports), inacceptable style and certainly no base to start any discussion.

Cheers,
