Bug#1055353: Debian installer not setting locale in Trixie daily builds

[Brandon Werner]

Hi,
After installing via the daily images, my locale isn't set. I took a brief look, and my best guess is the trouble is being caused in the file post-base-installer.d/05localechooser. There, I noticed
"DESTFILE="/target/etc/default/locale"".
I believe this file was retired recently in Debian.

I tried a reinstall, changing the above line to
"DESTFILE="/target/etc/locale.conf""
in the installer after I booted the daily netinst, and my locale was set in the installed system

Locales maintainer has confirmed, that your proposed change
is indeed needed, so I have pushed that to git.

Thanks for your analysis
