[Bug 1908928] Re: locales 2.27-3ubuntu1.4 enabled random locales

[Gunnar Hjalmarsson]

Given the contents of /etc/locale.gen, generating those locales when
updating the locales package (or e.g. running "sudo locale-gen") is
expected behavior. Are you claiming that Ubuntu somehow uncommented
those locales in /etc/locale.gen without your knowledge?
