 welcome, especially for the way Kathy and I use "ALL" as a locale within
 the package filenames and when fetching the update manifests. I think it
 is a good solution, but someone else may have a better idea.

 This looks good. Some things I have:

 What about "generic"? Or what about "" (like tor-browser-
 linux64-5.5a4.tar.xz) given that we only include the locales in the
 package names as we ship differently localized bundles. If that is not
 done anymore not confusing the user with either "ALL" or "generic" or ...
 might be a good option?

 I think we should do the changes to the `versions.nightly` first. If the
 patches stick in a nightly build we can use them for `versions.alpha` etc.
 as soon as we tag a tor-launcher version.

 It appears to me we only need one `cd mac-langpacks`/`cd
 win32-langpacks`/`cd linux-langpacks` if we move them at the beginning of
 the respective `for`-loop?

 s/package names/package name/ (there is just one package with all locales)

 Linux
 -----
 "packages" -> "package" (we plan to create only one)
 whitespace between "popd" and "Set the update.locale"
