Uhm I'm not sure I agree on this one.  Sure, they may be inaccessible, but
only in very rare setups.  On the other hand, we _still_ need a .mo in the
standard directory, because some strings in grub-mkconfig are critical
(they generate text that populates menu entry titles).  So that would mean
installing two .mo files.  Is it really worth the hassle?

What does everyone else think about this?
