*sigh*
When you run dpkg-reconfigure locales, you are telling it which locales
you want to HAVE ON YOUR SYSTEM. The whole set. All of them.
If you previously generated en_US.UTF-8, and you'd like to KEEP IT, then
you should select it (make sure it stays selected) when you run
dpkg-reconfigure locales again.
If the ONLY locale you want is en_US.UTF-8, then make sure that locale
(and no other locale) is selected when you run dpkg-reconfigure locales.
If you UNSELECT a locale that was previously selected, it will probably
delete that locale. Maybe probably. 'Cause who the hell does that?
I've never tested it. Why would I? It's a dumb thing to do.
