check: potato/main/binary-*/admin/locale-*,
slink/main/binary-*/*/{locale-*,*wcsmbs*}.
These are glibc-2.0/2.1 additional locale packages,
since glibc-2.0/2.1 did not handle multibyte characters and locales.

OK. I wish these locales will be supported until you release
glibc-2.2 package into woody.

Why? The newest cvs glibc build it. But I agree "sln" does not

Thanks.

I see.
