Actually, that hack can go away with the new packager, as long as all
locales manifests are included in chrome.manifest.

In practice, it changes nothing, because we already use flat chrome
format for dist/bin. What changes with bug 780561 is that even for a
final jar chrome format in dist/$APPNAME, we'll be using a flat chrome
format in dist/bin. So JarMaker won't have to output jars directly.
