what version of ltsp packages do you have installed:

  COLUMNS=200 dpkg -l 'ltsp*' | awk '/^ii/{print $2" "$3}'

this seems odd, as the code tests for the presence of locale-gen before running
it (since 2007-05-19, at least):

  if [ -f $ROOT/etc/locale.gen ] && [ -x $ROOT/usr/sbin/locale-gen ] ; then
      DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive DEBIAN_PRIORITY=critical LC_ALL=C chroot $ROOT /usr/sbin/locale-gen
  fi
