I confirm that locale.gen is not present here. 

The problem is that to use glibc-based locales you need to enable support for
locale-gen, which in turn enables polkit support for it via the helper. This
may be undesirable if not needed (it hasn't gone through any security review,
has it? Not saying it needs one, but that some may not want it). Currently you
either disable glibc support altogether, or you install the helper.

Of course, if all the "glibc support" does once enabled is running locale-gen,
downstreams can just disable it if needed. Can you confirm or deny it is  the
case?
