dpkg-reconfigure is just a frontend to questions provided by various
other packages. What's the full dpkg-reconfigure command you were
running, so that we can reassign this to the right place?

D'oh! I forgot to mention! `dpkg-reconfigure locales`. :)

Cheers,
Alex

Dear Maintainer,

I use the C.UTF-8 locale, and think it (and the basic C locale too)
should be listed by dpkg-reconfigure(8), just like any locale.
It might also be good to list the POSIX locales, although they're
aliases to the C locales.

Could you please give more details about this? The C and C.UTF-8 locales
are always available and thus do not be generated. You can therefore not select them in the list of locales to be generated, but you can select
them as the default locale.

Ahhh, didn't know. It makes sense now.

Cheers,
Alex

Regards
Aurelien
