OK,
could you then remove locale.gen(5) man page, and fix locale-gen man
page for it, so it doesn't mention locale.gen(5)?
Users moving from Debian or other distros probably don't like hints in
man pages that don't work...

locale-gen doesn't look in /etc/locale.gen
https://launchpad.net/bugs
Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: belocs-locales-bin
Write/append for example "hr_HR UTF-8" to /etc/locale.gen and run
locale-gen
The locales written in /etc/locale.gen are not generated.
Upon research I've seen /usr/sbin/locale-gen script doesn't even try to
look in /etc/locale.gen
it
