Sure. GDM should not be emitting the language names; it should emit the
proper locale names. IMO, the alias file should be purely a local thing;
it's just too adhoc to standardize on, especially as which locales exist
is also local choise.
Anyway, for most people, English is the default language of the system,
and that English is LC_MESSAGES=C, not LC_MESSAGES=en_UK. If we're
changing this for GDM, it'd be better for GDM to call English C or en_US,
so there's no changes.
