Oddly enough, we aren't idiots: this was deliberate. The release manager
was perfectly aware that hppa was out of sync. However, a huge amount of
other stuff was waiting for glibc in testing, and it really wasn't
practical to wait for hppa any longer. If we get a fixed hppa glibc
2.3.2 in time, which is being worked on, it'll go into testing.

In the meantime, you can get an appropriate version of locales from,
say,
http://snapshot.debian.net/archive/2003/07/01/debian/pool/main/g/glibc/.
