It was already discussed about this locale problem on lowmem machine.
One way to fix this kind of problem is: it's good idea to revive the
past style locales package which has all locales data in .deb. That
"locales-all" package is useful for lowmem machines, or the machine
which is logged in by various language people. IIRC, I thought this
idea when the current style locales package was appeared, but no one
did not try to make "locales-all" package yet.
