Bug#443581: locales: stranges characters in file

[Giovanni Ridolfi <gio.rido@tiscali.it>]

Package: locales
Version: 2.6.1-5
Severity: normal
File: /etc/locale.alias

Hello, dear GNU Libc Maintainers,

I've just installed the package "locales" and it has modified the file
 /etc/locale.alias  in this way:

/etc/locale.alias.dpkg-new  2007-09-17 01:55:42.000000000 +0200

in my ignorance I think that "français" should have been left  as it
 was, instead of changing it into "français".

Thank you the time you spend in maintaining Debian,
cheers,

Giovanni
