That’s an open question.  The vast majority of packages is happy with
just the C locale, and some need something more.

So far the approach has been to fix these one by one (that’s 4 packages
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,
