I found it.  It's a tiny script that just calls "locale-gen".  I commented that 
out and did the
     aptitude reinstall locales
which now looked clean.  Of course it left behind a bunch of unconfigured 
packages.

Moreover, when I manually ran locale-gen, it failed again in the same way.  I 
even did a
     aptitude reinstall belocs-locales-bin
to reinstall locales-gen, but this had the same sort of failure that "locales" 
did orignally.

So did another package chosen for its short name: "lsb".

It appears I'll have to solve the mystery of "locale-gen".  This reports a 
number of errors, then
has a failure of sed(1).  A typescript is attached.

Just in case: here's a quick checksum:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~ # sum /usr/sbin/locale-gen 
30903     7
