Hmm it seems we dropped this (deliberately) in https://github.com/canonical/subiquity/pull/937 where I said
there wasn't any good reason for this behaviour (one somewhat obscure reason for doing this before the client/server split was to make sure all but one instance of subiquity stopped at the first screen). So maybe after all the docs should be fixed -- if someone wants to make an ISO that is hard coded to run in a particular locale, I don't see why we should go out of our way to stop them...

Title:
  locale should be interactive when any section is interactive

Status in subiquity:
  New

Bug description:
  In the autoinstall reference is the following:

  locale
  type: string
  default: en_US.UTF-8
  can be interactive: yes, always interactive if any section is

  That isn't true today.  That documentation suggests that the following
  configurations should have the same result:

  interactive-sections: [locale, network]                                                                          
  interactive-sections: [network]

  But in testing, only the one where locale is listed as an interactive
  section, will it be interactive.
