In sarge, both first_weekday and first_workday is missing from the *_NO
and *_DK locales, and thus both defaults to 1. In se_SE this is set
correctly:
sarge:/usr/share/i18n/locales$ grep first_w* *_DK
sarge:/usr/share/i18n/locales$ grep first_w* *_NO
sarge:/usr/share/i18n/locales$ grep first_w* *_SE
first_weekday 2
first_workday 2
In sid (and in Ubuntu dapper), first_weekday is set correctly in both
*_NO and *_DK, but first_workday is still missing and defaulting to 1:
sid:/usr/share/i18n/locales$ grep first_w *_DK
da_DK:first_weekday 2
en_DK:first_weekday 2
sid:/usr/share/i18n/locales$ grep first_w *_NO
nb_NO:first_weekday 2
nn_NO:first_weekday 2
se_NO:first_weekday 2
As Sunday is not the first workday of the week in neither Norway nor
Denmark, this should explicitly be set to 2 (Monday), as is done for
se_SE.
Prove of 1 as default follows:
sid:~$ export LANG=en_DK
sid:~$ locale
LANG=en_DK
LC_CTYPE=en_DK
LC_NUMERIC=en_DK
LC_TIME=en_DK
LC_COLLATE=en_DK
LC_MONETARY=en_DK
LC_MESSAGES=en_DK
LC_PAPER=en_DK
LC_NAME=en_DK
LC_ADDRESS=en_DK
LC_TELEPHONE=en_DK
LC_MEASUREMENT=en_DK
LC_IDENTIFICATION=en_DK
LC_ALL=
sid:~$ locale first_weekday
2
sid:~$ locale first_workday
1
