Severity: normal
We are trying to set our office's locale settings by changing the debconf setting locales/locales_to_be_generated to be a properly formed list of locales that should be generated. However, the locales package ignores our settings, and overrides the selections in the actual multiselect combo box with the actual contents of /etc/locale.gen. This prevents usage of Debconf to properly configure these questions non-interactively.

This is the expected behavior, please read
http://lists.debian.org/debian-glibc-0304/msg00270.html
For this reason, I am closing this bug.

You can remove /etc/locale.gen before reconfiguring locales to achieve
this goal.
Thanks for your report.
