Package: help2man
Version: 1.36.1
Severity: normal
Tags: l10n
In 1.36.1, the following snippet was added to help2man.PL:
# Add default territory to locale.
$locale .= "_\U$locale" if $locale =~ /^[a-z]{2}$/;
This is hopelessly broken for many languages. Uppercasing an ISO 639-1 code
often doesn't result in a valid ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code (e.g. in the case of
en [English], or uk [Ukrainian]). Even if it does, the produced code often
doesn't stand for a territory where the language is primarily spoken (e.g.
in the case of be [Belarusian] or cs [Czech], BE stands for Belgium, and CS
for Serbia and Montenegro).
