"c" usually means a package has been installed and removed but not
purged. "ci" means that the package has been configured and is marked
for installation. "A" means that the package is marked to be
automatically installed; it will be removed if no other packages depend
on it, but that shouldn't happen with locales.

What packages depend on base-config? The description says it can be
removed once your system is installed. (I'm using Ubuntu Breezy, and
the locales package here does not show a conflict or dependency with
base-config).
