I have two systems. Both track unstable, and have package
locales at version 2.0.16.
On one system, package locales owns /etc/default/locale, on the other,
it doesn't. Should the file be owned by locales or not?
Could the situation arise by upgrades? One system is 4 years old
(upgraded weekly or better), the other just two months old. Surely it
isn't architecture dependent (one is x86, the second is amd64)?
