well, on 2nd thought, I now think I"ve confirmed that the step to
(re)generates locale in "stage reconfigure" is not necessary. Because,

Regenerating locales requires the 'locales' package to be installed
beforehand, normally in the additional packages list. But when
installing the 'locales' package, Debian generates the locales, as I
initially reported, and confirmed right now.
