Would it make sense to keep a help2man-minimal without nls support (or a
new help2man-with-nls variable) for bootstrapping purposes?

And now you know why I wasn't getting it, I even forgot that it was
already there. :-(
There's still a dependency chain between (gnu packages base) and (gnu
packages man)---I tried to use the full glibc-locales to do the test
before remembering this, so I need to spend a bit of time on this too.
Happy hacking,
Miguel
