Great work, Florian! I always find it fascinating when I get a glimpse into how something works "under the covers".
FWIW, I can confirm I have no 'uk' symbols file in the directory you quoted. I can only imagine that one existed when I first installed Debian on this machine (which would have been just after the Sarge release IIRC), and it has since been replaced by the 'gb' one. I'm just guessing though.
Thanks again, Dave.
