Package: localepurge

Severity: wishlist

cruft is

    a program to look over your system for anything that shouldn't be
    there, but is; or for anything that should be there, but isn't.

The cruft package allows other packages to install snippets to explain
why things are added or removed.  Currently when localepurge is used,
it deletes a lot of files, causing cruft(8) to report them as missing.

>From cruft's README file, I think this can easily be avoided by
localepurge providing a file along the lines of

    $ sudo cat /etc/cruft/filters-miss/localepurge
    /usr/share/man/**
    /usr/share/locale/**

A more comprehensive solution would use a script such that it only
explained why files belonging to non-whitelisted locales were gone.
