While I was talking to Rene today I realized that actually falling back would be
better than trying to fix up with symlinks all the cases of ll_cc since we don't
necessarily know which variant of English a country speaks. By symlinking eg
en_CA.dic to en.dic (a hypothetical British English dictionary) we are
essentially claiming it to be the same, but just having it fall back via the app
to en.dic doesn't make that same guarantee from a developer/packager
perspective. Most languages are spoken/written in most countries (many to many
correlation) due to the diverse nature of the world and having to either verify
every language/country variant or having no dictionary available at all for that
language/country combination is annoying to both developers and users. When a
user determines that the language dictionary is no appropriate for their country
they can file a bug and mention which variant is more like their own eg en_CA vs
en_US vs en_GB and/or supply their own dictionary to replace the fallback.
