Package: fai
Version: 3.2.14
Severity: wishlist

A package P may not depend on the package locales, but will only
configure itself for locales already available in the system.
This may cause problems, when the package locales is installed after
the package P. Then this package may fall back to the C or
the POSIX locale and does not set up for the locale you defined.

I think the debian installer also installs and sets up locales at the
very beginning. Maybe this package should be handled especially.
