autopkgtest: locale specific test cases

[Mike Gabriel <mike.gabriel@das-netzwerkteam.de>]

Hi all,

[please Cc: me in your replies, I am not subscribed to this list. Thanks.]

while working through various autopkgtest failures in cmake-extras, I 
noticed that one of its tests (debian/tests/intltool) succeeds, if I 
have the en_AU.UTF-8 locale configured on my system, but it fails, if 
en_AU.UTF-8 is not configured.

The cmake-extras package and its tests come from Ubuntu and there the 
issue gets solved / handled by dependening on language-pack-en in 
debian/tests/control (which then pre-configures all en_*.UTF-8 locales 
automatically).

Does anyone have an idea, how a pre-configuration of some specific 
locale could be achieved for Debian's autopkgtest'ing infrastructure?

Thanks+Greets,
Mike
