I would have expected packages other than libc to provide only
LC_MESSAGES, so I didn=E2=80=99t think such collisions could happen.

This happens with Coreutils because its bootstrap.conf adds
=E2=80=98EXTRA_LOCALE_CATEGORIES =3D LC_TIME=E2=80=99 to po/Makevars, and a=
pparently
always has.

However, I suspect this isn=E2=80=99t needed.  Can someone comment?

Thanks,
