Description Toralf Förster gentoo-dev 2015-05-31 14:14:11 UTC 
I by accident run :

echo "en_US ISO-8859-1       
en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8
de_DE ISO-8859-1
de_DE@euro ISO-8859-15
de_DE.UTF-8@euro UTF-8
" >> /etc/locale.gen 


twice - and 10 builds were made instead, 5 of them were needless.

please stop trying to assign bugs directly.  the last few were incorrect (this one included).

Generally you should assign things according to the maintainer(s) of the package which installs the file.

% equery belongs /usr/sbin/locale-gen
 * Searching for /usr/sbin/locale-gen ... 
sys-libs/glibc-2.20-r2 (/usr/sbin/locale-gen)

% equery meta sys-libs/glibc

understood - maybe next time I'd rather will attach a patch than just whining about a missing feature - that might compensate a wrong assignee ... ;) ?
