The package glibc-locales and glibc-locales-2.32 are nearly identical
according to diffoscope.

So while it would be nice to build glibc-locales-2.32 with glibc-2.33 I
don't think it's actually in use anywhere since IIRC we jumped from 2.31
to 2.33.
Also, for 2.33 I'd like to build it with glibc-final. glibc-locales
doesn't retain a reference to any packages and it would reduce an
instance of using an "extra" glibc when there's already one in the build
environment.

I misread the source. I'd like glibc-utf8-locales built with glibc-final.
glibc-locales actually rebuilds the sources with an extra patch. I
suppose another option would be to use glibc-locales to build
glibc-utf8-locales.

Has glibc-utf8-locales not been removed some time ago? I always had it in
my profile, then saw a message during upgrade that it had been removed,
and dropped it from my profile (without any apparent harm to my GNU system).

Still is there as a hidden package and used as an input for some
packages, though this brings up another locales-related question...
Before glibc-utf8-locales was a hidden package, I preferred using that
because it only included a small subset of locales, and happened to
include the main one I needed (lucky me!).
How feasible would it be to make each locale it's own output on
glibc-locales (e.g. glibc-locales:en_US.utf8, or maybe cluster languages
together, e.g. glibc-locales:en) ? Most people probably only use a
relatively small number of locales on any given system... though which
locales any given person uses probably varies.
Is it a complexity vs. space-savings issue? Would it be tricky to
compose multiple locales packages into a single profile? Just not worth
the effort?
live well,
