I guess that ISO comes with the locales for English then.

(By the way, if you want a build environment more like that of the
buildds, you can use eg. pbuilder. If you decide to try it out, I
recommend using the pbuilder-dist wrapper script, which is available
in package ubuntu-dev-tools)

Yeah. Note however that the package was build in a chroot with
locales-all installed, but I tried it on my local system.

On my local system:
C
ca_ES.utf8
POSIX

Inside the chroot, without installing locales-all:
C
POSIX

Inside the chroot, after installing locales-all (like it has when it's
building the package when locales-all is set as a build-dependency):
C
POSIX
aa_DJ
aa_DJ.iso88591
aa_DJ.utf8
[... almost enough lines to crash Iceweasel when copy-pasting more...]
zu_ZA
zu_ZA.iso88591
zu_ZA.utf8

Yep, it picks up a random one though, which is why I set it to English
explicitly.

Have a nice day,
