Hmmm, now the question is does dist_xo build the locale folder and then make the bundle with it in, or do you have to manually build first before dist_xo? I've just looked through a mix of past .xo releases of mine, some have locale directories and some don't (aargh!). I'm pretty sure I alway use ./setup.py dist_xo on an XO-1 running an official OLPC 0.82 or 0.84 to build my official .xo bundle releases.
