Galician, not Galacian, or Galego as it is said in Galician is a language
spoken here in Galicia, on the north west of Spain, Galician and Portuguese
are brothers, they once were the same language, Galego-Portugués.
Jacobo adds: There is another Galicia between Poland and Ukraine but it is
unrelated to this language in particular.

Termwrap is an script that is run on the first reboot of the machine to set
the LANG and LC variables but its main function is executing a command under
the apropiate terminal so that this terminal supports the characters of the
language we may be using.

I don't mind where we put it, it was just easier to put it in debootstrap.
But we must arrive to a consensus about this and other things or otherwise
it won't be on either and we won't have boot floppies :-(

Yes, it is for that, and also and most important, so that when we reboot to
run dpkg-reconfigure on base-config it get's the locales compiled.
