I tried this, but it appears to have unintended side effects. For instance I really expect LC_COLLATE=C when using sort or sed. I am similarly accustomed to LC_TIME=C by now. Scripts not expecting non-C locales used to be frequent issues in Debian, but still are for my personal scripts. I also noticed that the pg_createcluster(8) is quite precise on the locale settings used. This is great. Do you think that having the locale preseedable[1] would be a worthwhile feature? I could not find out whether the locale settings are used when installing packages via "d-i pkgsel/include string". > Agreed, thanks! Metadata updated.
