Just to clarify, installing the locales package will not make locales
work on its own — the GUIX_LOCPATH variable needs to be set as well, and
in at least two different contexts.

But `guix install glibc-locales` should create the 'lib/locales'
directory, and if it didn't then something is broken about package
installation.
