Right, I split this target into two targets:

# Create and install the locale-archive file.
install-locale-archive: $(INSTALL-SUPPORTED-LOCALE-ARCHIVE)
# Create and install the locales individually (no archive).
install-locale-files: $(INSTALL-SUPPORTED-LOCALE-FILES)

So you have to decide which you really want to test with.
