Manpage of locale-gen does not mention the --keep-existing option. In
the source I see there is locale-gen.8.sgml, which has this option,
but apparently it is not used for generating locale-gen.8, and these
two files are now out-of-sync. If you prefer to keep using
locale-gen.8, I suggest to remove the sgml file from git to avoid
confusion, otherwise we should keep the sgml file up-to-date. I can
send a patch to fix this if you let me know which way is preferred.
This has been fixed in this commit:

Rewrite locale-gen.8
It has an SGML source that no-one has regenerated, ever(?) ‒
--keep-existing was missing entirely since its inclusion in /2005/ ‒
and rambles
Re-write it in mdoc(7), instead, which means it doesn't have to be
compiled, and passes mandoc -Tlint
locale.alias(5) was removed from the distribution in 2.3.5-2 (2005)
