Since I have that unconditionally in other spec files, this should be fine  
for all platforms, for courier-authlib as well.

I used to have a BuildRequires: glibc-all-langpacks which got replaced by  
BuildRequires: /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive, but this was only on Fedora.

This was done when Fedora pulled out glibc-all-langpacks into a standalone  
rpm, and this made it possible to have the spec file work on both the new  
and the old packaging. The old one resolved /usr/lib/locale/locale-archive  
to a glibc dependency, the new one resolved it to a glibc-all-langpacks.

It merely needs to be enabled for the rhel family, switching it to glibc- 
langpack-en is fine as well, provided that glibc-langpack-en is available  
now on all rpm-based distributions that the CI workflow uses. We'll see.

I think this'll work. I'll keep an eye out until everything settles down.
