+Subject: BF: do not bother changing/setting LOCPATH
+
+Some of the initial reasoning and discussion is at
+
+ https://github.com/datalad/datalad/pull/1921
+
+but overall summary is that a typical standalone build relies on
+user having RW permissions into its installation so locales are
+generated upon initial use. For NeuroDebian standalone:
+ - built/installed by root
+ - locales are likely to be installed and be compatible
+thus patching of LOCPATH seems to resolve some issues, primarily
+with custom remotes which are ran by annex, thus provided with
+LOCPATH
