how to work around the locale breakage

[Christof Petig]

In case you happen to depend on a working locale in edgy the following
steps did help me:

 - cd /tmp
 - apt-get source -b glibc    (takes some time and storage)
 - mkdir -p /usr/local/lib/locale
 - cp -r
/tmp/glibc-2.4/debian/locales-all/usr/lib/locales-all/de_DE.utf8
/usr/local/lib/locale/de_DE.utf8
 - export LOCPATH=/usr/local/lib/locale (or put it into /etc/environment)

IMO actually helping people would be preferable to telling them to go
away (not use edgy in this case).
