Bug#620134: locales/locales_to_be_generated is not read when reconfiguring locales

[Sylvain Ferriol <ferriol@gate.cnrs.fr>]

Package: locales
Version: 2.11.2-10
Severity: normal

hi
when i want to reconfigure locales by setting locales_to_be_generated 
with debconf-set-selections, the new value is never read because 
locales.config rewrites locales_to_be_generated to languages 
selected in /etc/locale.gen.
so using debconf is unuseful.
