Description
In our Moodle installation workshops we found out that a Moodle installation with de_du_utf8 produces english role names. This is wrong. Both the installation with de_utf8 and with de_du_utf8 should make german role names.
There will be another mistake when you choose de_du_utf8 with your installation .... the installer asks you during the process to load the language package de_du_utft8 .... but if you load only the incomplete de_du_utf8 you also need the parent package de_utf8 ... and this will still be missing after your installation with de_du_utf8.
I think it would be a very easy and quick bug repair to leave away de_du_utf8 from the installer.

No no, no excluding 
I was thinking about it and my final proposal is to download the parent automatically and maybe even silently (we had a chat that admin should be just warned to download it manually). I can see no big reason why admins (especially during installation) should take care of some parent stuff - they just want to install their lang pack. Without the parent, the child itself may be almost untranslated. So IMO there is no space for options - let us give users complete pack or nothing.
If no objection arrives, I'll start with the fix (I think I already wrote more bytes here into the issue comments than the patch will have What a wonderful way to a consensus!

I think that this problem could be found in all Moodle versions and not only in the current ones.
