Package: debconf
Version: 1.5.87
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure
X-Debbugs-Cc: alx at kernel.org

Dear Maintainer,

I use the C.UTF-8 locale, and think it (and the basic C locale too)
should be listed by dpkg-reconfigure(8), just like any locale.
It might also be good to list the POSIX locales, although they're
aliases to the C locales.


Have a lovely day!
Alex
