Another option is to have shared templates to specify locales to
generate, and the package which generates those locales is chosen
via another template. This is similar to kdm/gdm/xdm, or to the
various dictionaries.

In order to save space, similar files are currently hardlinked (by
localedef). When the package is generated, one has to hardlink
(or symlink) compressed files instead, this is quite tricky.
