Good point.

It depends.  For editing C source code or config files, the
POSIX locale (a.k.a. "C" locale) should be sufficient, and
it doesn't require any locale files at all.

Personally, when I make a minimum installation (on CF card
or similar), I keep only the "ASCII" locale (it's a symlink
to "en_US-US-ASCII") and the "en_US.ISO8859-1" locale, so I
can set LC_CTYPE appropriately for using German umlauts.

Best regards
