Bug#461008: locales: on install, perform locales generation in the background

[Fabian Fagerholm <fabbe@paniq.net>]

Package: locales
Version: 2.7-5
Severity: wishlist

I have a dual AMD Opteron server on which I need to generate all the
available locales (I cannot predict what each user needs). This takes a
long time for each locales upgrade, during which some packages are in a
half-installed state. Perhaps the locales generation could be performed
in the background so that the rest of the installation could proceed? (I
haven't given too much thought to the implications of this, so feel free
to tell me it won't work :)

Thanks,
