Subject: scratch: locale files are not installed in standard ___location

Date: Sun, 03 Nov 2013 21:10:55 +0100

Package: scratch
Version: 1.4.0.6~dfsg1-5
Severity: normal


Scratch locale files are located under /usr/share/scratch/locale/. This is not
the proper ___location for locale files (/usr/share/locale).

There is no major harm in placing them there, but being a non-standard ___location
makes it impossible for some packages (such as localepurge) to work their magic
so that locales that are *not* useful for the installed system are removed.

Please help system administrators claim back useless disk space ( == useless
locales) by installing Scratch locales in the proper system ___location.
