I think the way to get past that is to make a specific proposal. With my Lintian maintainer hat on, I need a UTF-8 locale that's guaranteed to always be available. Right now, we're doing something complicated and annoying (and fragile on Ubuntu) to generate one on the fly (en_US.UTF-8 just because it's probably always there), and we would love to stop doing that. I agree with others in this thread that having a UTF-8 locale without the collation changes implied by en_US is very useful for various software packages such as automated test suites that want reproducible results and were originally written for the C locale. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
