Bug#260887: Untranslated country names and hang in apt-config and korean locale.



Quoting Changwoo Ryu (cwryu@debian.org):

I would object to this as iso-codes contains official names for
countries and in that case, using non official names is very likely to
trigger political problems while official names are accepted.

We have to find a way to handle these commas, imho. Usually the method
is escaping them in the templates file.
