Isn't the current localedir used for binary locales, whereas datadir/locale
is the location of the non-binary locale files? So we'd be changing the
meaning/semantics of the variable? Admittedly to a version which would be
used in more recipes, but I think we should make it clear that we're
changing its meaning in that way, if so.
