If it's a problem in the Debian packaging ("'dpkg-reconfigure' doesn't
do what I expect" generally is) then you probably don't want to report
it to GNU in any case. It's easy to report a bug to the Debian
bug-tracking system, though, probably using the 'reportbug' command in
the 'reportbug' package. ('reportbug libc6' or 'reportbug locales')
If it really is a problem in the upstream source, rather than the
packaging, the Debian maintainer should take reponsibility for
forwarding it appropriately. See also http://bugs.debian.org/ and,
for example, http://bugs.debian.org/libc6.
