Yes, we've noticed. However, releng doesn't build stage4 tarballs, so we didn't 
care.

And how did you add a locale.gen to the stage3? You can't do it with catalyst, 
since stage <=3 doesn't support an overlay, so I can only assume you unpacked 
it, added the file, and repacked it, which we obviously don't support :)
