📄 Description

Some games with native Linux ports (like Half-Life 2: Deathmatch) seem to require en_US.UTF-8 locale to be available regardless of the user's language setting:

This makes docker generate that locale at image build time, and leaves the locales package installed so the user can generate any others required.
