[Bug 1449138] Re: Installing of a new language causes that other locales are registered as outdated

The manpage does also say that it compiles only locales if the source
files have changed. Based on this recompiling already up-to-date locales
after another locale has been installed seems to be a bug.

Title:
  Installing of a new language causes that other locales are registered
  as outdated

Status in langpack-locales package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  I'm using Ubuntu 15.04 with locales 2.13+git20120306-19 and if I'm
  installing a new language (in this case language-pack-gnome-fr) to an
  already existing language (in this case language-pack-gnome-de) I'm
  noticing that the next call of locale-gen will update the old locales
  even if they got already updated directly before installing the new
  language.
