I do. That's the reason I started this thread: should it or shouldn't it?
I've deciced it should, and I'm configuring glibc to use /usr/share.

Now should we move /usr/lib/zoneinfo too? What does the FHS say?

(Mind you I'm working on the Alpha port so I don't have a reason to
 desire backwards compatibility).

Well, I don't know...

The next wg15-locale package must provide a symbolic link then
 (/usr/share/i18n -> /usr/share/nls) .

Doesn't glibc use /usr/share/locale, too? The only difference I'm aware of
is /usr/share/i18n instead of /usr/share/nls. But then this already holds
for libc5 starting with 5.4.0

wg15-locale install locale files in /usr/share/locale
# dpkg -S /usr/share/locale
wg15-locale: /usr/share/locale

libc6 must conflict with wg15-locale (<1-2) if the locale
directory change...
