Bug#172439: patch to fix this bug

[Masato Taruishi <taru@valinux.co.jp>]

Hi,
The attached patch should fix this long outstanding bug.
The previous config script always set locales_to_be_generated
even when /etc/locale.gen doesn't exist. So the question in
dpkg-preconfigure time became empty in dpkg --configure locales time.
The story was as follows:

*** apt-get install locales ****

 1) dpkg-preconfigure

    ----- .config -----
      -> db_set locales/locales_to_be_generated ""
      -> db_input
           question will be asked.

 2) dpkg --configure locales

    ----- .config -----
      -> db_set locales/locales_to_be_generated ""
            #######HERE THIS QUESTION BECOMES EMPTY#####
       -> db_input
           question will be skiped.
            #######SO THE QUESTION IS STILL EPMTY#####

    ----- .postinst -----
      -> creating /etc/locale.gen which will be empty.

*** dpkg-reconfigure locales ***

    ----- .config -----
      -> db_set locales/locales_to_be_generated ""
      -> db_input
           question will be asked.

    ----- .postinst -----
      -> creating /etc/locale.gen correctly.

Thanks
