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

[Avamander]

> Are you claiming that Ubuntu somehow uncommented those locales in
/etc/locale.gen without your knowledge?

Yes, the first thing I do on new installs is only leave the two
previously mentioned locales uncommented. Always. I get annoyed waiting
for unused locales to be generated.

On this specific machine I've seen numerous locale-gen runs and this is
the first I saw where these new ones appeared.

I will post more information tomorrow, like dpkg.log of the last few
days.
