Bug#453131: most recent version breaks use of custom locales



Package: locales
Version: 2.7-2
Severity: important

Hi. Im using a custom locale ("en_DE") in UTF-8 mode.

Since the most recent update I'm no longer able to select this via
debconf and even if I add it manually to /etc/locale.gen it gets removed
by dpkg-reconfigure locales.

The locale is added to /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED
The file is of course in /usr/share/i18n/locales (/en_DE)

As an interim solution I've added it manually to /etc/locale.gen run
locale-gen.
And added it as the default in /etc/default/locale and /etc/environment

Please fix that :-)

Best wishes,
Chris.
