/usr/bin/locale is now shipped by libc6, so it isn't available between 
belocs-locales-bin being removed and the new libc6 being unpacked. debconf is 
relying on this being treated like an essential component of an Essential 
package, and always being available.

In this case the problem was non-fatal and debconf recovered, but I'm
concerned that this might cause some more serious problems in bigger
upgrades. The Conflicts forces belocs-locales-bin to be removed -
perhaps this is too heavyweight?
