Bug#214906: locales: locale-gen cannot generate fr_FR.UT-8@euro because it is not in locale.alias

["Sylvain Ferriol" <Sylvain.Ferriol@imag.fr>]

Package: locales
Version: 2.3.2-7
Severity: normal

i try to configure debian to UTF-8
so i run dpkg-reconfigure locales and select fr_FR.UTF-8@euro

but dpkg-reconfigure don't create new locales in 
/usr/share/locale/fr_FR.UTF-8@euro

dpkg-reconfigure use local-gen script which use localedef command:
localedef -i $input -c -f $charset -A /etc/locale.alias $locale

this command don't work because using '-A /etc/locale.alias' option

why this option???, there is no -A option in 'man localdef' and the little 
help in 'localedef --help' is not really clear.
so i don't know what action localdef is doing with this option

and why locales package do not update this file (and the 
/usr/lib/X11/locale/locale.alias) by the default locale 
selected.

in my /etc/locale.alias, there is:
french fr_FR.ISO-8859-1
and it's false

thanks
sylvain
