I have two systems. Both track unstable, and have package locales at version 2.0.16. On one system, package locales owns /etc/default/locale, on the other, it doesn't. Should the file be owned by locales or not? Could the situation arise by upgrades? One system is 4 years old (upgraded weekly or better), the other just two months old. Surely it isn't architecture dependent (one is x86, the second is amd64)?
