Помянем незлым тихим словом.

Из файла debian/debhelper.in/locales.NEWS пакета glibc_2.31-17.debian.tar.xz:

locales (2.31-14) unstable; urgency=low

* Starting with locales 2.31-14, non UTF-8 locales are deprecated and not
offered anymore in the debconf dialog, except for the ones already
configured. Nevertheless users of non UTF-8 locales are encouraged to
switch their system to an UTF-8 locale.

Please note that iconv still supports conversion to and from non UTF-8
charset. For instance reading a file using an ISO-8859-15 charset can be
done with: iconv --from-code=ISO-8859-15 foobar.txt
