No, here they should. Those tests are there because we had had one of the
language environments specify latin-5-prefix as its input method in 1999;
but that input method first appeared in the packages in May of *this year*. 
If the test succeeds when a referenced input method is not included in the
packages, then it’s not actually checking the consistency of the language
environments.

If you have a suggestion for a way to check for this error without a
dependency on the packages being current, please to be coming forward with
it.
