[Impact]

 * When installing apport-gtk (or apport-kde) on a non-GUI installation (cloud 
image, server image) as a dependency providing x-terminal-emulator xiterm+thai 
package is pulled in, which is not appropriate for most locales.
My understanding is it was selected due to lowest number of unsatisfied 
dependencies.

[Test Case]

 * lxc launch ubuntu:20.04 test
 * lxc shell test
 * apt update
 * apt install apport-gtk
 * Examine the packages listed to be installed: xiterm+thai should be among 
them.

[Regression Potential]

 * In dedicated archive mirrors with limited number of packages changing
that may cause errors due to packages missing in the archive. However,
that's unlikely.

[Other Info]

 * It is not affecting bionic, since x-terminal-emulator is listed as 
'Suggests' not 'Depends' there.
 * Original bug description:

Vanilla install of Ubuntu 20.04 set to an Australian locale includes the "Thai 
X Terminal" package.
This package should not be included.

I noticed that it is also reported against Xubuntu and Lubuntu:
