Bug#684134: Package 'locales' resets pre-set debconf variable 'default_environment_locale' on install

[Ivan Vilata i Balaguer <ivan@selidor.net>]

Package: locales
Version: 2.13-38
Followup-For: Bug #684134

Hello,

I've also been bitten by this when setting both ``default_environment_locale``
and ``locales_to_be_generated`` variables in a preseed file for a container.
The ``locales.config`` package script doesn't take those into accout so I'm
forced to fiddle with sed and ``/etc/locale.gen``, locale-gen and
update-locale afterwards.  This could be avoided if the config script looked
up these variables before overwriting them.

Thanks,
