 > Could you possibly push this ?

 Yes, will give it a try.

 > It does not take care of /usr/share/locale, but I think the files in
 /usr/share/locale should be left in the builds, since if we need to add
 support for a locale at deployment site, localedef would get the
 definitions from files in /usr/share/locale

 I think the answer depends on how much disk space is involved.  I don't
 agree that we should necessarily spend tens of megs shipping strings for
 locales we're extremely unlikely to need.

 > As for pruning German, etc, I think we should definitely do it if it can
 be confirmed that we do not need it immediately.

 Cool, okay.
