Yes, inputs in general denote build-time dependencies.  Run-time
dependencies are automatically determined by scanning the build result
in search of /gnu/store references.

In that case a proper solution would be to replace ‘locale’ with
‘/gnu/store/…/bin/locale’ in the files above, using the ‘substitute*’
macro.  Would you like to give it a try?  There are many examples of
similar uses of ‘substitute*’ in the package definitions.

HTH!
