I tried blending "i18n" and "POSIX" to create the attached version of
/usr/share/i18n/locales/C@utf-8.
The name "C.UTF-8" doesn't seem to be usable.
The /usr/lib/locale/C@utf-8/ that results is still 158 KB, but the
compressed tar archive is about 30 kB. The big file is LC_CTYPE. I
don't suppose you could make that file smaller, but maybe you could
make it more compressible.
