For me the version without comma is correct, as it specifies two parts
of the locale. If you want to enable multiple locales, you can simply
use multiple lines:

locales locales/locales_to_be_generated multiselect de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8
locales locales/locales_to_be_generated multiselect de_DE at euro.ISO-8859-15 ISO-8859-15
locales locales/locales_to_be_generated multiselect en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

giving

# cat /etc/locale.gen |grep -v '^#'
de_DE.UTF-8 UTF-8
de_DE at euro ISO-8859-15
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

on the installed client. I did have to add the package "locales" to the
FAIBASE package config however, it didn't get installed by default.
