Package: locales
Version: 2.2.3-1
Severity: normal
Hello Ben,
Currently the default /etc/locale.gen contains the following lines:
# zh_HK BIG5HKSCS
# zh_TW BIG5
However, the locale names commonly used for these two regions are
zh_TW.big5 and zh_HK.big5hkscs. Then, if a user upgrading from, say,
potato just uncomments these two lines, then she'll end up with only
zh_TW and zh_HK locales, and thus would break quite a few programs.
Therefore, these should be changed to:
# zh_HK.BIG5HKSCS BIG5HKSCS
# zh_TW.BIG5 BIG5
Thanks,
Roger

It seems zh_HK uses BIG5-HKSCS mainly, so changing this behavior is
difficult yet.
