Links from the page http://www.debian.org/international/l10n/po/ :
The following language codes should be investigated:
  * CSB, KAB, TLH -> they link to csb, kab and tlh respectively. Why do 
these upper case entries exist?
  * af_ZA -> no .po files present, only one country for 'af'
  * ar_AR -> no .po files present, bogus language/country code combination
  * az_IR -> no .po files present, locale doesn't exist
  * bem -> no .po files present, locale doesn't exist
  * bi -> no .po files present, locale doesn't exist
  * bs_BS -> no .po files present, bogus language/country code combination
  * co -> no .po files present, locale doesn't exist
  * es_LA -> no .po files present, bogus language/country code combination
  * fa_AF -> no .po files present, locale doesn't exist
  * jv_ID -> no .po files present, locale doesn't exist, only one 
country for 'jv'
  * lb -> no .po files present, locale doesn't exist
  * mal -> no .po files present, locale doesn't exist
  * ml_ML -> no .po files present, locale doesn't exist
  * mus -> no .po files present, locale doesn't exist
  * my_MM -> no .po files present, only one country for 'my'
  * new -> parsing bug, 'installation-guide' stores .po files in a 
non-standard directory tree
  * si_LK -> no .po files present, only one country for 'si'
  * si_SL -> no .po files present, bogus language/country code combination
  * sl_SL -> no .po files present, bogus language/country code combination
  * sq_AL -> no .po files present, only one country for 'sq'
  * sr_SR -> no .po files present, bogus language/country code combination
  * su_ID -> no .po files present, locale doesn't exist
  * to -> parsing bug, 'squirrelmail-locales' stores .po files in a 
non-standard directory tree
  * ug_CN -> no .po files present, only one country for 'ug'
  * vi_AR -> no .po files present, bogus language/country code combination
  * vi_PL -> no .po files present, bogus language/country code combination
