Bug#206474: locales: nb_NO should be a real locale, not an alias
The nb_NO locale was just added to the glibc CVS. This is good. :)
Unfortunately, it was added by renaming the no_NO locale. Renaming
the locale is the most painful way to fix this, as this will make all
translations using the 'no' language code inaccessable by gettext.
Because of this, I urge Debian to keep the no_NO locale around for a
year or two, while the bokmål translation team track down and fix all
source packages using the 'no' language code instead of the 'nb'
locale code. Keeping both around make it possible to access both
translations named no.po and nb.po using the environment variable
LANGUAGES.
I suggest that you update the patch to use the locale from the glibc
CVS for nb_NO, and to keep the old no_NO locale around. The alias
file need to be updated as well, to not list no_NO as an alias.
