Thanks very much for the analysis.  LGTM.

Well, I was thinking, would it really be a bug of RC-severity for *any*
package that didn't work, if /usr/share/locale is deleted?
For example, a package that is for use on workstations that didn't work
properly would matter less than something for containers.

So, 'should' seems more appropriate to me based on this.
