Package: ftp.debian.org
Severity: normal

Hi,

See #859912 for the full details.

tl;dr: open-infrastructure-locales-c.utf-8 provides 'locales' and
'locales-all' but doesn't provide its functionality. experimental's
resolver chooses this package over the real locales, and breaks package
builds if they need its functionality. The report has a few instances of
this breaking builds already.

I think it should just be removed, because it doesn't seem to do
anything useful for Debian. If you're reluctant to remove it, I could
NMU to drop the Provides.

Cheers,
