Hi Doko,
the package *is* required if you programmatically need to have “all”, or at least a large set of, locales available.
Possible use case here is a package dependency (declaratively).
In the specific case of FusionForge, I have seen it (both the native tracker and the embedded mediawiki) malfunction if locales-all was not installed, even getting PHP to segfault.
Another use case is to ensure something is available to users, especially nōn-root users, in the default location (so there is no need to set LOCPATH. (This can help ssh, sudo, etc.)
