Heavily reduce number of files downloaded by apt-get update

These should be permanently fixed in the 16.04 cycle for 16.04
and later under LP: #804252 and LP: #1430011. But because of the
prevalence of errors and proxies that do not handle these specially
(LP: #1474417) we just configure apt to not use translation files.Even in a world where 'Hash Sum mismatch' errors do not occur, this
is still a win in that we do not download data that no one would
ever read.
In a less permanent path to the same end, curtin now has

That basically filters out deb-src lines and and then runs apt-get update with
