I also wanted to make similar changes for another reason: currently locale-gen is shipped in the locales package, it calls localedef from libc6 and needs data files from locales. It is IMO better to have localedef and locale-gen in the same package, as in belocs-locales-bin. This means that another package will surely be needed. > If I am not able to fix that soon (let's say for Thursday), I suggest to > upload a glibc splitted, but with the log files in the wrong places. > What do you think? Maybe a safer alternative is to upload 2.3.6-5 without splitting tzdata, and wotk on remaining issues as soon as possible.
