I think it is not very usefull to check <em:targetApplication>
for a language pack with an "<em:requires>"-statement.

"<em:requires>" should give enough information about compatibility
in case of "<em:type>8</em:type>"

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Double checking compatibility.

Expected Results:  
Single checking compatibility.

I'm talking about language packs for extensions.

Potentially this could work. Need to consider it along with all the other extension locale pack ideas.

We no longer support em:requires so this is no longer something we could consider doing.
