Looks like Archlinux maintainers don't do so.

	   cp -a "$pkgdir"/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/generic/config/language.dat \
    	  "$pkgdir"/etc/texmf/tex/generic/config/
    	  cp -a 
"$pkgdir"/usr/share/texmf-dist/tex/generic/config/language.def \
    	  "$pkgdir"/etc/texmf/tex/generic/config/


 From 
https://github.com/archlinux/svntogit-packages/blob/packages/texlive-core/trunk/PKGBUILD#L132-L135

I was in the impression that copying that should be working, but no it 
didn't. Their source archive seems to include `hyphen-afrikaans` so they 
may not have that problem.

Now, what I should do is similar to `*.fmts` and `*.maps`, I should 
create one `<package-name>.def` and `<package-name>.dat` while building 
the source archive and then save it in 
`"$pkgdir"/var/lib/texmf/msys2/installedpkgs/<package-name>.*`, and fix 
the fmtutil hook to create `language.*` similar to how `fmtutil.cnf` are 
created from `*.fmts`, and finally run `fmtutil-sys`.

First two are already done. And for the last one I should parse `execute 
AddHyphen` from `texlive.tlpdb`. I think it should be so hard to 
actually, let me see.

Yes, I am going to do that :).

Yes, this is done already.

:+1:

I plan to mix it with the hook for `fmtutil`.
