Bug#636087: Cannot set /etc/default/locale to C.UTF-8 through debconf; requires manual editing

[Josh Triplett <josh@joshtriplett.org>]

Package: locales
Version: 2.13-12
Severity: normal

I'd like to use C.UTF-8 as the default system locale.  As far as I can
tell, I can't do that through debconf; I had to hand-edit
/etc/default/locale.

Please consider providing C.UTF-8 as an option for the default locale.

Please also consider making it the default option, so that without
the locales package installed the system will use C.UTF-8 by default.

Thanks,
Josh Triplett
