I have tested sv_SE.UTF-8 and it seems to work (sorting, date/time,
character wideness) so please add it.
en_GB.UTF-8 is not support upstream (just as sv_SE.UTF-8) but is
listed in the Debian SUPPORTED file. What kind of testing has it
received? If there is any formalized testing, I will do the same for
sv_SE.UTF-8 too.
If this is not enough reason to add it, please tell me how to proceed
in getting sv_SE.UTF-8 supported because I would really like to see
it.
