Hello, Aurelien Maybe, because, using puppet, I was trying to reconfigure a pre-existent Debian 7.4 VM template, that had an /etc/default/locale already configured. And only using noninteractive frontend for debconf. I followed the instructions of http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/apbs03.html.en and edited the resulting file to only include the locale settings.
If one executes debconf with other frontends, it honors the user choices. The VM template was a basic install, with custom partitioning. Removing /etc/default/locale caused the debconf noninteractive to work as expected. Is this behaviour a design choice? Maybe an alert and or documentation. I will try again with a completely local fresh vm install (the other is a corporative one...) to record my exact steps. Regards.
