ubiquity always includes all the translations there are for it, and
none of its translations come from language packs.

usually, ubiquity tries to download and install language packs during
installation if there is internet connection. Otherwise incomplete
language support dialog will be shown upon login offering to complete
download & installation of the language packs.
All of the above has always been the case (or has been the case for a
very long time time).
