Being fully ignorant on localepurge's design, wouldn't it be possible
to have a core + modules that implement specific functionality? Those
modules then could be maintained by other people and wouldn't have a
impact on the standard invocation of localepurge.

Well, I agree that having hooks in dpkg is indeed preferable to an
add-on package.
