+# In Ubuntu 16.04 (but not 14.04), the locales configuration mechanism has
+# changed.  There is a /var/lib/dpkg/info/locales.config file, which
+# overrides /var/lib/dpkg/info/locales.postinst and consults
+# /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local instead of the debconf system.  (See
+# the code in /usr/share/debconf/frontend that prefers locales.config.) This
+# hook applies the debconf setting.  It must run after FAI's debconf task
+# but before dpkg gets a chance to clobber debconf with an empty setting.
+
+# todo: debconf-get-selections did not show our locale settings.
+#
+# this could be related in the fai.log
