I knew it was too easy: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=240254

As of Eclipse 3.4.1, you can have categories in your update site, or you
can have updates that finish within a human lifespan.  Not both.

In the case of langpacks, I think I'll keep the P2 metadata.  I'll add a
note to the P2 JIRA: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-2246.
