I havent looked at the test in detail, I have not yet decided whether
the package would be helpful in Debian. It looks like the test has
en_GB.UTF-8 hardcoded, sets the locale to that value and then fails
it it's not there. Most likely it's the home locale of the dev.

And build-depending on that is not bad in some way?
