I believe you have misread the policy.  As far as I know, it says that
one packages maintainer scripts should not modify another packages
configuration files.

The script called from base-config is not a maintainer script, so this
isn't a policy violation.

But it would be better if the individual packages provided a script to
change the language settings, to avoid having to track all the
different package formats, and to avoid upgrade problems.
