Why can't grub-install just copy them to $prefix/locale like it's done with
e.g. modules? Not only it makes it consistent with the rest but also makes
grub OS-independent if needed. I strongly oppose to grub2 reading files from
usr. Now our directory structure is clean (everything in /boot/grub) and it
has to stay such
