Things are the way they are so that without the additional step of specifying glibc-minimal-langpack, one get's all the locales by default. This design was chosen for maximum backwards compatibility when the langpack split was being made. Installing no locales by default would probably be the default if we were starting from scratch today, but when the split was made, a different choice was made. I don't see enough benefit to revisit this.
