Thank you for filing this! One question occurs to me:

I'm assuming this means I should add locales-all to the desktop-raspi
seed [1] to produce the dependency. However, the desire is to include
this in the pre-installed desktop image, but have gnome-initial-setup
remove it once first-time setup is complete. The logic for this has been
added to g-i-s (thank you Matt Hagemann!), so I was considering adding
locales-all as a *recommended* package in the seed (permitting its
removal).

But it occurs to me that the seed probably shouldn't be recommending
packages we intend to immediately remove, and that a cleaner solution
would be to add locales-all as an "extra" package in the image
definition [2], much as we used to do for oem-config (which removed
itself after first-time setup). However, that way wouldn't produce the
dependency required above?

Would it be acceptable to go the "extra" package route? I'm happy to go
either route, but the latter seems mildly preferable to me?

Title:
  [MIR] locales-all (src:glibc)

Status in glibc package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  The glibc presence in main pre-dates the MIR process so there isn't an
  existing MIR to follow up. Ideally we would create one and get a
  proper review but for now we would like to request the existing
  `locales-all` universe binary to be promoted.

  The binary was apparently in main already in focal and demoted again.

  The rational would be to make all locales available to the gnome-
  initial-setup new-user flow which replaced oem-setup in the raspi
  desktop image
