Re: why must Debian call Taiwan a "Province of China"?



(crosspost removed. This discussion belongs to -boot where Debian
Installer packages development is coordinated, including countrychooser.

Quoting John Hasler (john@dhh.gt.org):

No, this is ISO, which is not affiliated to UN. Th econfusion comes
from ISO-3166 MA using a name coming....from United Nations.

If someone has a better standards organisation for this issue, please
mention it. And, non, Microsoft is not the answer.:-)
