** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: belocs-locales-bin
  
  install-language-pack gets called in the postinst script for all
  language-pack-XX-base, with the locale of that package.
  
  This calls for trouble, if you have multiple languages installed and set
  PURGE=yes in /etc/belocs/locale-gen.conf: locale-gen will purge all
  existing locales, but only create the currently installed ones again.
  
  The fix for this appears to be:
  1. Introduce a "--no-purge" command line option for locale-gen
  2. Use this option from install-language-pack
  
  Fortunately, the default for PURGE is "no", so you have to manually
  change this in "locale-gen.conf", but it's a bug nonetheless.
  
- I might file another "wishlist" bug to always regenerate all locales, if
- PURGE is "yes", but that's something different as far as I can see.
+ (Additionally, when a locale is given, only this locale should get
+ purged (instead of all). But this changes existing behaviour, is not
+ really necessary to fix this bug and should be a new bug itself
+ probably.)
