Bug#1038798: locales: transition from /etc/default/locale to /etc/locale.conf

Dear Maintainer(s),

As discussed before Bookworm released, for Trixie we'd like to drop a
lot of out-of-tree debian code and transition from the debian-only
/etc/default/locale location to the more common /etc/locale.conf which
is shared by most other distributions. The content is the same, so
there's no functional change. We can add a compat symlink in the old
location to ensure existing scripts or programs are not affected.

MR open on Salsa:

Kind regards,
