There are two ways to guarantee an en_US.UTF-8 locale:
- Build-depend on locales-all
- Build-depend on locales|locales-all and generate locale files,
like src:glib2.0 does
I would personally suggest copying the debian/tests/run-with-locales script
from src:glib2.0 and running that. See glib2.0's debian/rules for an example
of how to use that script.
