Severity: wishlist
Many Debian machines don't have the en_DK locale installed. This
locale is important to have ISO-8601 date format in applications
that use the locales. So, it should be included by default in the
generated locales.
Alternatively, there could be some specific locale named "ISO8601"
or something like that.

I fully agreed with Denis. From the technical view point, depending
on the specific locale for generic purpose is a bad idea. I close
this report.
