Someone how would the work to manage that transition.
A first step would probably be, to determine the list of packages which
touch /etc/default/locale in some way or another, starting from d-i.

Work out a plan to to switch (seamlessly) from the old to the new file,
file bugs and seeing it through to the end.

Supporting /etc/locale.conf half-assed would be worse then only
supporting /etc/default/locale

It would certainly be possible if someone drives this forward I think.
