Package: locales The dependency of locales on glibc-$DEBVERSION is harmful for non-released architectures like the Hurd, since the only locales package which exists (since there is not a testing disrtibution) becomes uninstallable until the glibc package is recompiled.
Such dependency should be on glibc-$VERSION at most. The reason glibc-$DEBVERSION was required in the past was that, at some point, there were incompatible locales and libc packages having the same VERSION but different DEBVERSION numbers. This was because the maintainer was introducing new code from CVS without changing the VERSION, which may be considered as a bad practice. So, I request that the dependency is changed again to a non-debversioned one (like glibc-$VERSION) and the maintainer refrains from making incompatible changes without changing $VERSION as well. Thanks.
