Bug#357523: /etc/locale.gen not created

[Norbert Veber <nveber@pyre.virge.net>]

Package: locales
Version: 2.3.6-3
Severity: normal

Steps to reproduce
-dpkg --purge locales
-make sure you have no /etc/locale.gen file
-aptitude install locales
-enable en_US.UTF-8, and no default system locale in the debconf
 screens

This is supposed to create /etc/locale.gen, and generate the locales you
chose, however it does neither.  A subsequent dpkg-reconfigure locales
(chose the same settings) will create the file and generate locales as
expected.  The problem only occurs during the initial install.
