    <title>DESCRIPTION</title>

<para>This manual page documents briefly the
      <command>&dhpackage;</command> command.</para>

<para>By default, the locale package which provides the base support for
    localisation of libc-based programs does not contain usable localisation
    files for every supported language. This limitation has became necessary
    because of the substantial size of such files and the large number of
    languages supported by libc. As a result, Debian uses a special
    mechanism where we prepare the actual localisation files on the target
    host and distribute only the templates for them.</para>
    <para>
    <command>&dhpackage;</command> is a program that reads the file
    <filename>/etc/locale.gen</filename> and invokes
    <command>localedef</command> for the chosen localisation profiles.
    Run <command>&dhpackage;</command> after you have modified the <filename>/etc/locale.gen</filename> file.

        <term><option>--keep-existing</option></term>
        <listitem>
          <para>By default, <command>&dhpackage;</command> removes all
          existing locales and generates new ones afresh. The
          <option>--keep-existing</option> option prevents this, so that
          only locales which do not already exist are generated. This is
          useful if calling locale-gen a number of times in
          succession.</para>

<para><filename>/etc/locale.gen</filename></para>
    <para>The main configuration file, which has a simple format: every
    line that is not empty and does not begin with a # is treated as a
    locale definition that is to be built.
