Could you please detail what you are trying to achieve with this change?
Maybe sending your /etc/locale.gen would also help to understand the
problem.

Changing 0 into 1 would break the case where the same two entries are
present on the two first lines: both would be uncommented instead of
only the first one, which would break further scripts. Without more
explanations, I am not going to change that.
