Bug#1036952: rootskel: text installs on aarch64 lack glyphs for many languages

Glancing at the merge request earlier, my first (intertwined) questions
were:

  1. Why is aarch64 special here?
  2. Where does that difference come from?
  3. Which other architectures might be impacted if we were to change
     that?

Yeah, that's the same kind of questions one would get by combined my
second and third questions…
