Package: localepurge
Severity: minor

localepurge prints a misleading message when it gets purged:

  To reinstall all the packages which localepurge has been taking care
  of before, you can use the following command:

    apt-get --reinstall install $(dpkg -S LC_MESSAGES | cut -d: -f1 | tr ', ' '
' | sort -u)

  For your further usage, the file "/var/tmp/reinstall_debs.sh"
  contains an enhanced version of the command line printed out above.

The arguments of tr look like the line was wrapped accidentally,
especially when you consider the position where it is wrapped.  I think
using '\n' instead of a real newline would be less confusing.

Maybe splitting this in two lines would be even better:

    REINSTALL=$(dpkg -S LC_MESSAGES | cut -d: -f1 | tr ', ' '\n' | sort -u)
    apt-get --reinstall install $REINSTALL
