Package: localeconf Severity: serious Justification: Policy 10.7.3 Hi,
localeconf.postinst does not preserve local changes in /etc/environment, it uses debconf markers. This usage is considered a violation of policy for a long time. As /etc/environment is a PAM configuration file, modifying this file is also a violation of 10.7.4. Of course this one is not your fault, it was a bug in the locales package. It has been fixed now, and update-locale(8) should be used to modify locale variables. Anyway this package is almost useless nowadays, so instead of fixing it to make it policy compliant, I suggest that you request its removal from unstable. Most other Progeny packages also modify configuration files without preserving local changes, have not been updated for a long time and do no more integrate well with current Debian tools, please remove them also from unstable.
