The zh_TW.Big5 is still there, but is broken, as are other locales.
(e.g. Perl is complaining loudly about my en_CA locale.) And lo and behold,
there is already a fresh bug report, available at:
http://www.debian.org/Bugs/db/53/53659.html
It seems that the byte order in /usr/share/locale/zh_TW.Big5/LC_CTYPE
is wrong or something like that. 我的頭痛了，要睡覺了。
暫時解決辦法：安裝 i18ndata 套件，自行編輯 locale data，範例指令如下，
隨便「自由發揮」。 ^_^
$ localedef -f BIG5_1984 -i zh_TW -u mnemonic.ds /tmp/zh_TW.Big5
$ su - root
# cd /usr/share/locale/zh_TW.Big5
# mv LC_CTYPE LC_CTYPE.bad
# cp /tmp/zh_TW.Big5/LC_CTYPE .
# exit
想看看這個壞檔和好檔有什麼分別：
$ cd /usr/share/locale/zh_TW.Big5
$ cmp -l LC_CTYPE.bad LC_CTYPE
希望這個 locales 套件過一兩天會有更正版本。
