  Hi,
  
  Debian provides a 'locales-all' package, which is very convenient to
  ensure all locales are available, and installs very quickly.
  
  It's particularly handy when providing i18n'd web applications (e.g. that use 
php-gettext).
  As they may be accessed by visitors of all supported languages, rather than 
documenting how the server administrator should enable a list of 10-15 
languages by reconfiguring 'locales', the packager can just add 'locales-all' 
to the Recommends or Depends.
  See for instance the FusionForge package in Debian 
(https://packages.debian.org/jessie/gforge-web-apache2).
  
  Cheers!
  Sylvain
