>there is a plan to move locales in Ubuntu from the langpack-locales
source package to the glibc source package. In connection with that,
langpack-all would be made available in Ubuntu.

Hi, do you have a rough time estimate on this transition?

I see from http://qa.ubuntuwire.com/ftbfs that at least groovy2 requires
locales-all in order to build. I don't know whether it is strictly
needed or if something like the workaround from #2 could be used
instead.

Title:
  Please provide 'locales-all' as in Debian

Status in glibc package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in langpack-locales package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi,

  Debian provides a 'locales-all' package, which is very convenient to
  ensure all locales are available, and installs very quickly.

  It's particularly handy when providing i18n'd web applications (e.g. that use php-gettext).
  As they may be accessed by visitors of all supported languages, rather than documenting how the server administrator should enable a list of 10-15 languages by reconfiguring 'locales', the packager can just add 'locales-all' to the Recommends or Depends.
  See for instance the FusionForge package in Debian (https://packages.debian.org/jessie/gforge-web-apache2).

  Cheers!
  Sylvain
