This would force the installation of at least one langpack, no? The C,
POSIX and *C.UTF-8* locales are builtin, so for many systems it is very
reasonable to run without any language pack installed.
Yeah, the workaround we're doing there is to have a glibc-minimal-langpacks subpackage
that satisfies the requirement but contains no actual files. It's a bit of a hack, but
not a particularly awful one.
