I also prefer to see LC_MESSAGES in English, but that does not mean I am
forced to disable NLS whenever possible.  It is just a matter of setting

Given that gettext is so widely used it is mostly guaranteed that it
will be installed on a system with more than a dozen of ports, size/deps
savings are probably marginal anyways.
