[OE-core] is the virtual package <locale>-tanslation correct?

Hi guys,

I found that in package.bbclass when generating the -locale packages, it sets RPROVIDES to provide the virtual packages <locale>-translation,
  d.setVar('RPROVIDES_' + pkg, '%s-locale %s-translation' % (pn, ln))

This would result different real packages provide the same <locale>-translation, i.e. eglibc-locale-ca and glib-2.0-locale-ca will both RPROVIDES ca-translation, even though they contain different messages.

Is it desirable or should we remove the <locale>-translation in RPROVIDES?

Best Regards,
-Lianhao
