DESCRIPTION
The file /etc/locale.gen lists the locales that are to be generated by
the locale-gen command.
Each line is of the form:
<locale> <charset>
where <locale> is one of the locales given in /usr/share/i18n/locales
and <charset> is one of the character sets listed in
/usr/share/i18n/charmaps
The locale-gen command will generate all the locales, placing them in
