Package: locales
Version: 2.2.5-13
Severity: wishlist
I maintain a package which needs a generated locale to run its own
internal testsuite. I'd like to build-depends on it. But, unless I am
mistaken, the locales package does not generate any locales by default.
Therefore I'd like to know if it would be possible to generate by
default at least one locale if you install the package. So if you build
depends on the package, the buildd will have at least one installed
locale (and this would be documented :)
TIA.
Guillaume.

Because of the above reason I mentioned, I can't accept this report.
In addition I have not got a reply. I close this bug.
