Actually, if a locale doesn't exist in the glibc, translations for
that locale won't be used, so checking against
/usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED seems to be the right thing to do.


I'm not sure, though, that it is really a good idea to check PO files
against supported locales, for "upstream" translations (ie non-debconf
ones) with lintian. The only case where it's relevant to lintian,
imho, is the case where the package is native (so "upstream" is
Debian).
