How many people need locales?

[Santiago Vila <sanvila@unex.es>]

Hello.

For the purposes of determining whether or not "most users need to
change the /etc/locale.gen file" Ben and I need an estimate of the
proportion of Debian users using locales among all Debian users.

[ See Bug #111008 for details ].

I think we can consider the volume or the number of subscribers of the
debian-user mailing list, and compare it with the volume or the number
of subscribers of all other language-specific debian-user-foo lists
combined. Is there anybody who can do this count?

Can you think of another way to estimate the proportion of users using locales?

Thanks.
