Bug#555168: Unclear license situation for (e)glibc locales provided by you



According to Pablo's website: http://chanae.walon.org/~srtxg/ . He has two e-mail addresses on this website:  srtxg@chanae.walon.org and pablo@walon.org which I have also included in this e-mail. Hopefully either of these should work.

Shehzad
