This is nice. But I don't think it fixes the bug. My understanding is that
localedef is part of glibc. In which case this bug should be reported upstream
to the glibc maintainers. There's not much point in glibc shipping a program
whose response to a user requesting POSIX compliant behaviour is to crash.

     - debian/locales/usr/sbin/locale-gen: Add "unset POSIXLY_CORRECT"
       because if user set POSIXLY_CORRECT, this script is interrupted.
       (Closes: #206784)
