Check out the "apt-localepurge" package.  It contains a file named
"/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/99-apt-localepurge" which probably contains the
mechanism you are looking for:

---------------- snip --------------------------
// Get rid of unneeded locale files after each package installation

DPkg
{
Post-Invoke {"if [ -x /usr/sbin/apt-localepurge ]; then /usr/sbin/apt-localepurge; else exit 0; fi";};
};
