Bug#442258: locales: locale.alias regression regarding et_EE



Package: locales
Version: 2.6.1-3
Severity: normal


I upgraded to locales 2.6.1-3 and it changes /etc/default/locales. Among
the changes is the following one:
-eesti          et_EE.ISO-8859-15
-estonian       et_EE.ISO-8859-15
+eesti          et_EE.ISO-8859-1
+estonian       et_EE.ISO-8859-1

This is clearly wrong, ISO-8859-15 is the 8-bit locale that is official
standard here. Historically a modified 8859-1 was used (adding scaron
and zcaron like in 8859-15) but this was more than 10 years ago and since
Debian does not use the hacked 8859-1, we should not point any Estonian
language locale to the 8859-1 charset. Please revert this chunk.
