Bug#932708: rewrites comments in /etc/locale.gen

[Marc Haber <mh+debian-packages@zugschlus.de>]

Package: locales
Version: 2.28-10
Severity: minor

Hi,

a least in buster and later, reconfiguring locales will rewrite
the comments in /etc/locale.gen which indicate available locales. This
might confuse file integrity checkers and causes value ping-pong with
configuration management systems.

Please consider making the addition of commented-out locale indicators
configurable.

Greetings
Marc
