Bug#1020942: debian-live: Reconsideration of Calamares installer on the next stable of Bookworm



Package: debian-live
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Calamares installer should act properly to NOT install unneeded large amounts of locales by default; on the contrary other distribution's installer like in Fedora or MX Linux behave quite properly.

If this problem is not easily solved, I would like to propose to replace the present calamares with Gazelle-installer developed by MX dev, instead. It seems that Gazelle-installer is quite a nice installer without such a problem.

I still have some doubt about this, which is a serious bug which ordinary users do not expect at all after HDD installation. Please see the related topic below.
