Well, having things depending on eglibc-locale-locale is wrong in many
ways :/. eglibc is just the only package we split the locale generation
into a separate recipe for.

A more generic check in there which would work for multiple libcs would
be:

if pn.endswith("-locale"):
    pn = pn[:-7]

the other alternative which comes to mind would be so set a variable
with the name we want used there, defaulting it to PN.
