Dear Maintainer,

    On the debian with locale ca_ES@valencia most of translation are
    stored in the ca@valencia directory

    In nopuge config dialog the entry ca@valencia does not exist.

    After run reinstall_debs.sh the catalan-valencia translation are
removed.


    Workaround to preserve ca@valencia directory:

    - reinstall_debs.sh must be executed without using dpkg
--path-exclude feature
    (localepurge/use-dpkg-feature: false)

    - after that in dpkg-reconfigure localepurge appears ca@valencia so it
      can be selected to keep

    - reinstall_debs.sh must be executed again to install catala (valencia)
      translations


    I think it happens to all @variants locale, so they should be added
    to nopurge config list.

Regards,
Piotr Czarnecki
