Package: locales
Version: 2.28-10

To support MacOS terminal I have to define "UTF-8" using localedef (see #952516).
Problem is, custom locales are wiped out by the postinst script. Sample:

# locale -a
C
C.UTF-8
POSIX
# localedef -i C -f UTF-8 UTF-8
# locale -a
C
C.UTF-8
POSIX
UTF-8
UTF-8.utf8
# apt reinstall locales
:
:
# locale -a
C
C.UTF-8
POSIX

See UTF-8 is gone? Shouldn't happen.

Same for locales 2.31-1.
