Indeed.

Seems like this path is only used to build the GDM_MOFILES variable,
where the code asks gettext to look for translation files (.mo files).

The following command (run inside your Debian Squeeze VM) will tell
you where the gdm3 Debian package puts its .mo files:

dpkg -L gdm3 | grep '\.mo$'

... i.e. in the standard FHS-compliant place AFAIK. No need to deal
with special casing Ubuntu's non-standard directories in
tails-greeter :)

Bye,
