As a lighter-weight alternative to locales-all, you could depend on locales
and generate your own en_AU.UTF-8 locale, something like this:
https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/pango/commit/8f0d94e8ac5cd531502d6d6c07a134c61f5ce635
https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/pango/commit/4fb5a392d30c56f3eaa58169deb33b211068b2ca
pango wants en_US.UTF-8 for a test, but the principle is the same. The
first commit has a bug which was fixed in the second.
