Here simple solution
package file 'babel':
-------
function! Lookfor()
    let g:pos = line('.').' | normal! '.virtcol('.').'|'
	let g:line = search('\\usepackage.*{babel}', 'w')
	if getline(g:line) =~ 'german'
		source $VIMLATEXMAINPATH/packages/german
	endif
	exe g:pos
endfunction

call Lookfor()

" vim:ft=vim:ff=unix:
--------- 
Works for me. Aha, small cheat: $VIMLATEXMAINPATH is defined
in main.vim. IMO this is not bad idea - calculating path in each file
which needs this information in not very clear.

But this in not necessarily good solution. This sources whole package
file with its menus and specific commands which is not always cause with
babel package. IIRC this turns on only hyphenation, gives access to
special letters, and redefines \chapter and similar commands. For
(n)german it works. I have wonderful polski package which does many,
many more. Maybe Luc can say more?
