Hi, Thanks for the follow up (and sorry for the lack of responds on our part). I have taken the liberty of closing this bug as you reported it was a broken locale that you have already fixed. On a related note, the next version of Lintian (2.5.5) will be using the locale from libc-bin (in Wheezy). This should hopefully reduce future issues of this kind. :) ~Niels
