Unlike when this bug was originally submitted, the locales-all package
is now available in Ubuntu. I can think that locales-all is the
reasonable package for a case like the one in the bug description.
Maybe I'm missing something.

Title:
Consider parallel execution in locale-gen
Status in glibc package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
In cases where one wants to produce a system image with a lot of
locales supported (e.g. supporting a number of collations for user
selection in various programs), it's easiest to generate a ton of
locales. However, locale generation is easily the slowest step of
such a image/debootstrap, by a rather lot.
It looks like Arch Linux has both inherited locale-gen and decided to
patch it up to support parallel execution, some speed gains, so
there's some prior art here:
https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/36955
Looks like Gentoo patched it up a couple of years ago:
