Bug#433314: Makefile.in.in: Shouldn't itlocaledir use datadir?!

[Pascal Giard]

Package: intltool
Version: 0.35.5-4
Severity: normal

FWIW, I encountered the following while working on DeSmuME (http://desmume.org).

I'm using intltoolize to generate the scripts and therefore copies
/usr/share/intltool/Makefile.in.in in po/ .

Building with --datadir=/usr/share/games i noticed that locale files
were installed in /usr/share/locale even though i was expecting it to
be in /usr/share/games/locale.

Looking closer at /usr/share/intltool/Makefile.in.in, i noticed that
unlike /usr/share/gettext/po/Makefile.in.in and $localedir, the
localedir is built using...
$(prefix):	/usr
$(DATADIRNAME): /share
locale:		/locale

I was expecting $(datadir)/locale ...
Is this a bug are locales should always be in $(prefix)/$(DATADIRNAME)/locale ?

Thanks,

-Pascal
