This is for the benefit of people who run Guix on top of a foreign distro. On a Guix system people can simply use the “locale-libcs” field of their operating system declaration, but on a foreign distro there is no way to install a locales package for older versions of glibc. This patch generates variants for version 2.27 and overrides the name so that both “glibc-locales” and “glibc-locales-2.27” can be installed into the same profile. (Without the name override that’s not possible.) -- Ricardo
