Bug Description

I'm repurposing a fanless mini PC with a 32GB solid state drive.

Installation is progressing, but for a looong time I was watching it prepare locales. It was only running one prepare at a time, despite having 4 cores: top shows just 25% utilisation.

Would it be possible to do that step across all cores in parallel?

The lack of multicore processing is dependent on `locale-gen`. See here for more info and a potential fix:
