[PATCH 02/36] localedata: sort SUPPORTED to list UTF-8 locales first
From: Denis Barbier <bouzim@gmail.com>

UTF-8 is now ready for use as the default character set in Debian.
Most other major distributions (e.g. RedHat, SuSE) switched to
UTF-8 last year, if not before. We should seriously consider doing
the same.
The current locale package allows one to choose the locales to generate
using debconf, and takes the list from i18n/SUPPORTED. I don't for one
moment propose to drop any supported locales. The following patch
reorders SUPPORTED.
However, I don't know it's nice idea to put all UTF-8 locales at the
top. Actually many users have not switched to UTF-8 yet, so they want
to select both UTF-8 and obsolete charsets at the same time. So,
instead, I would like to change as follows:
- The current order of SUPPORTED list (appeared at the first screen
of dpkg-reconfigure locales) is for example:
iw_IL ISO-8859-8
iw_IL.UTF-8 UTF-8
ja_JP.EUC-JP EUC-JP
ja_JP.UTF-8 UTF-8
But the new order of SUPPORTED list is for example:
iw_IL.UTF-8 UTF-8
iw_IL ISO-8859-8
ja_JP.UTF-8 UTF-8
ja_JP.EUC-JP EUC-JP
This change partly solves #312927.
Originally from glibc 2.3.6-1, 2006-01-18.
