Package: locales
Version: 2.2.5-14
At the moment it is impossible to preconfigure fthe locales package
for the first time install.
I would like to supply a debconf value in the
locales/locales_to_be_generated variable, and get the locales package
to create /etc/locale.gen based on the content of this debconf answer.
This fail, because locales.config will reset the value to '' before
asking debconf for the answer. The following patch fixes the
situation for the first time install, while still using the content of
/etc/locale.gen if it exists.
Please fix this in Woody too. The Skolelinux distribution needs it.

Thanks, this bug is fixed in 2.3.1-6.

Hmm, it's not RC bug, we apply it hard for woody.
Could you apply it for your distro locally?
