Bug#347323: locales: locale en_US incorrectly starts week on Monday

[Reid Priedhorsky <reid@reidster.net>]

Package: locales
Version: 2.3.5-8
Severity: normal


Dear maintainers,

The locale en_US seems to think that weeks should start on Monday; in the US,
weeks start on Sunday. Trimmed "locale -k -c LC_TIME" output on my machine:

5 [~]$ LC_ALL="en_US" locale -k -c LC_TIME

week-1stday=19971201
week-1stweek=4
first_weekday=1

Note that December 1, 1997 is a Monday; since first_weekday is 1, this
indicates incorrectly that the first day of the week should be Monday also.

This can also be seen by using a GTK application that shows a calendar, e.g.
jpilot.

Thanks for your hard work on Debian. It is much appreciated!

Reid
