Package: dpkg
Version: 1.16.10
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

In dpkg-reconfigure locales the user can press the space bar to toggle the
locale under the cursor. However, this info is not provided by the user
interface. Personally I had a rather hard time figuring out how to select more
than one locale because of this.

Currently there is only the following info:

"Locales are a framework to switch between multiple languages and allow users
to use their language, country, characters, collation order, etc.

Please choose which locales to generate. UTF-8 locales should be chosen by
default, particularly for new installations. Other character sets may be useful
for backwards compatibility with older systems and software."

I'd suggest changing the second part to something like this:

"Please choose which locales to generate. Pressing the space bar toggles the
locale under the cursor. (...)"

Thanks for listening!

StefCT
