The package description reads as:

   This package provides a small sample of UTF-8 locales mostly useful
   in test environments.

Perhaps it should simply be marked as a hidden package (not discoverable
via the user interface), and not mentioned in the manual at all.

What do you think?

Thanks,

Maxim
