Correct me if I'm wrong - isn't the locale package libc version specific?
So the dependency should be on locale versions for libc >= 2.0.7 rather.

Re: switching to libc 2.1 on m68k - I've had a TT running with David's
libc 2.1 base system and packages from his test area for quite a while
now. Built mac-fdisk on it, built a 2.2.10 kernel (and it even worked
after some asm cosmetics), used it as a print server with few problems. 
About the only thing I didn't get to work was xterm (not enough ptys) but
I installed with kernel 2.0.36. From what I've seen, glibc 2.1 behaves OK
and I could install a number of glibc 2.0 packages without trouble. I
wouldn't object to switching to 2.1.
