Recent copies (unless it was changed back to big file edition) are
blank, and add the list of locales to /usr/share/doc/locales/SUPPORTED.gz.
So people will very rarely get prompted for changes. Then, what's the problem?
I don't want to have to go through a debconf interface to try and configure
my locale.gen file; heck, SUPPORTED doesn't even include half my locales
(mainly UTF-8). How does making it a conffile hurt things again?
(locale.gen attached as an extreme example that needs to be supported.)
