That appears to be the > default used by most packages. That=E2=80=99s an open question. The vast majority of packages is happy wi= th just the C locale, and some need something more. So far the approach has been to fix these one by one (that=E2=80=99s 4 pack= ages so far) but if it happens to be frequent enough or cumbersome, we can change that in the next core-updates to have en_US.UTF-8 available by default. WDYT? Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
