This is the wrong way to go about this, and IMO contradicts this 
prolonged thread.
The keyboard layout indicator, if it's included in GNOME 2.6, must _not_ 
require any flags packages of any kind.  It should provide its own 
icons.  If one or two of those icons happen to be flag-like, OK.
I think it's clear from the previous threads that GNOME cannot require 
any flag packages. 

I am sorry that this may cause inconvenience, but I think the decision 
is clear.
