There's a [corresponding Debian bug](https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=924657) with some discussion in it, but the status is that we're a bit stalled a the minute. I agree that my proposal here in this MR is a workaround and maybe Perl should do something about this itself (slightly less convinced that glibc can be blamed since presumably this has always been the behaviour of `uselocale()`?).

As I already noted on the bug, the workaround seems fine to me. I think
it should be used for Buster, but I don't have a chance to do anything
else about this right now. Sorry.
I'm cloning a bug against perl and will try to take it upstream later
when I find the time.
