You need the locales package and you may want to install the package 
apt-file so in the future when a package is not already installed you 
can find which one a file belongs to anyways.

>$ dpkg -S /etc/locale.alias
locales: /etc/locale.alias

>$ apt-file search locale.alias
gcal: usr/share/doc/gcal/examples/locale.alias
gcal: usr/share/doc/gcal/examples/locale.alias
gettext: usr/share/gettext/intl/locale.alias
gettext: usr/share/gettext/intl/locale.alias
locales: etc/locale.alias
locales: etc/locale.alias
locales: usr/share/locale/locale.alias
locales: usr/share/locale/locale.alias
locales: usr/share/man/man5/locale.alias.5.gz
locales: usr/share/man/man5/locale.alias.5.gz
xlibs-data: usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias
xlibs-data: usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias


BTW this is not really the list to ask these type of questions, you may 
want to try debian-user in the future.
