Okay, so i inverted the deletion the way you proposed and i do like it
a lot more. Now those locale directories containing a LC_MESSAGES
subdirectory which are not listed in /etc/locale.nopurge will be
deleted and the "miscellaneous junk" won't be touched at all.

Yes, you've convinced me and it has been done in another way which
should be working on potato as well.
The files can be either downloaded or fetched using apt from the same
site as stated before.
Thank you, P. *8^)
