This is because I don't distribute french voices. In order to keep the
full bundle small, well relatively small, I exclude all the voices
except en, es, pt, pt_BR. 

It is relatively easy to create a full bundle that includes french.
- Get the gcomprixo branch
  http://gcompris.net/wiki/index.php/Developer%27s_corner
- Get everything needed to build GCompris:
  apt-get build-dep gcompris
- Edit the file tools/full_xo_bundle.sh to no more remove the 'fr'
  directory where the fr voices are.
- Run the script ./tools/full_xo_bundle.sh
- Once complete the bundle is in /tmp/

Tested on Ubuntu Hardy only.

On the long term as anybody a better solution to distribute GCompris and
it's localized voices in an efficient manner.
