Actually, the only possibility I see is the attached patch:

-test about validlocale
-only run the validlocale and locale generation stuff if it is there

I actually fail to see why validlocale wouldn't be here in lowmem mode
(supposedly we don't install the locale package) but that seems to be
the only short-term solution

This is completely untested.
