I think the language-pack packages have nothing to do with it; they only
supply translations.

Possibly, things are set up so that only UTF-8 locales are installed by
default.  Since the collate.linux.utf8 requires a UTF-8 environment, it
seems reasonable to use the tr_TR.UTF-8 locale for LC_TIME, instead of
requiring an unrelated (ISO-8859-9) locale to be installed.  So I think
the change you propose is reasonable.
