"at" is not a valid locale name, so we don't need an alias for that.

Your patch didn't enable de_AT as a possible locale, but made de_AT an
alias to de_DE. Thus it's completely irrelevant if you have de_AT locales
installed on your system, you need to have the de_DE locales installed.
But then again, this alias wasn't necessary because de_AT is already
automatically set as an alias to de_DE in the locale selection code.
