Package: dosfstools

Dear Maintainer(s),

glibc 2.42-1 split out some old locales in a new package. This causes
mkfs.vfat to output some warnings, although they do not seem to break
the functionality of the tool:

$ truncate -s 100M foo
$ mkfs.vfat foo
mkfs.fat 4.2 (2021-01-31)
Cannot initialize conversion from codepage 850 to UTF-8: Invalid argument
Cannot initialize conversion from UTF-8 to codepage 850: Invalid argument
Using internal CP850 conversion table
$ echo $?
0
$ file foo
foo: DOS/MBR boot sector, code offset 0x3c+2, OEM-ID "mkfs.fat",
sectors/cluster 4, reserved sectors 4, root entries 512, Media
descriptor 0xf8, sectors/FAT 200, sectors/track 32, heads 8, sectors
204800 (volumes > 32 MB), serial number 0xa008ac55, unlabeled, FAT (16
bit)

A dependency such as the following could be added to fix them:

libc-gconv-modules-extra | libc6 (<< 2.42-1~)
