PostgreSQL doesn't need some fixed locale, it will create the cluster
with whichever locale is set when you call pg_upgradecluster; for
pacakge installation that's the locale the postinst script runs under,
which is usually defined in /etc/default/locale. I don't think that
everything which wants to use the system default locale must create it
by itself -- it should just be available, shouldn't it?
