It appears to run:

  pkg_delete -f $name

and pkg_delete (according to [1]) looks very much like RPM and other
packaging tools, ie. sensible.

However I'm not any closer to understanding why those locale files
would be deleted after the deinstall.  It appears to be some
interaction between the pkg_* tools and files that virt-install
modifies, but in what way I don't know.

Rich.
