Hi,

Debian provides a 'locales-all' package, which is very convenient to ensure all locales are available, and installs very quickly.

It's particularly handy when providing i18n'd web applications (e.g. that use php-gettext).
As they may be accessed by visitors of all supported languages, rather than documenting how the server administrator should enable a list of 10-15 languages by reconfiguring 'locales', the packager can just add 'locales-all' to the Recommends or Depends.
See for instance the FusionForge package in Debian (https://packages.debian.org/jessie/gforge-web-apache2).

Cheers!
Sylvain
