Package: locales
Version: 2.2.5-12
Severity: normal
en_AU is present in the standard locale list (/usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED) as
ISO-8859-1, but en_AU.UTF-8 is not given as an alternative. There is an
en_GB.UTF-8 and an en_US.UTF-8, but no en_AU.UTF-8. This makes configuring
with debconf a little unsatisfactory, forcing me to edit /etc/locale.gen bu
hand. I can't use en_GB.UTF-8 - it'll stuff up LC_MONETARY (pounds not
dollars), and I can't use en_US.UTF-8, it'll stuff up LC_TIME (12-25-02 =
twelth day of which month?)
I think there may be a deeper problem here which needs to be thought about.
The UTF-8 character set can effectively apply to *all* locales (i.e. all
language_COUNTRY combinations). It seems somewhat frivolous to repeat every
single combination that is already present in /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED, and
merely append a .UTF-8 to it.
Perhaps a better approach is to assume that every locale mentioned in
/usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED can be rendered as a .UTF-8 locale. Then
/usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED can be used to define standard default charsets
for each locale along with other particular non-UTF-8 variations such as
@euro (which is basically what it currently does, except it adds some odd
arbitrary .UTF-8 locales).
These standard default locales can be selected as at present via debconf,
but the main change I envision here is that the current question could be
supplemented by an additional similar debconf question, picking out base
locales which will be written as .UTF-8 in /etc/locale.gen. That is, you
choose en_AU in this second question, and "en_AU.UTF-8 UTF-8" gets written
to /etc/locale.gen.
What do you think is the best why to make sure all UTF-8 locales are
consistently included?
