Dear Karl,
I committed an experimental "split" of hyph-utf8 into logical units
for TeX Live:
http://tug.org/svn/texlive?view=revision&revision=40340
but I didn't try to run any tests.
I might have missed some files or accidentally introduced some
duplication, so please do some consistency checks.
-----------
At the moment installing hyphen-{language} just adds the corresponding
entry to language.{dat|def|dat.lua}, but all the hyphenation patterns
come bundled in hyph-utf8, so everyone gets all the files. This split
is more logical because users would now also install the actual
hyphenation patterns rather than just a "ghost package".
Sometimes people doing the packaging for Linux distributions asked us
why packages were empty and I hope that this should resolve the
confusion.
(Before anyone asks: no, we don't plan to split the hyph-utf8
repository itself.)
Thank you,
Mojca
