Bug#673339: [locales] es_MX has wrong decimal_point and thousands_sep

Package: locales
Version: 2.13-32
Severity: critical
Tags: l10n

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---
The locales for es_MX in decimal_point and thousands_sep should be the same as en_US:
$ LANG=en_US locale -k LC_NUMERIC LC_MONETARY | grep -e decimal_point -e thousands_sep 
decimal_point="."
thousands_sep=","
mon_decimal_point="."
mon_thousands_sep=","
$ LANG=es_MX locale -k LC_NUMERIC LC_MONETARY | grep -e decimal_point -e thousands_sep 
decimal_point=","
thousands_sep="."
mon_decimal_point="."
mon_thousands_sep=","

This command has inverted the "." and the ","
I think that the problem is in /usr/share/i18n/locales/es_MX. It could have missing the variables decimal_point and mon_thousands_sep 
The en_US file does have this variables and es_MX does not.

$ grep -e decimal_point -e thousands_sep /usr/share/i18n/locales/es_MX
mon_decimal_point    "<U002E>"
mon_thousands_sep    "<U002C>"

$ grep -e decimal_point -e thousands_sep /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_US
mon_decimal_point   "<U002E>"
mon_thousands_sep   "<U002C>"
decimal_point   "<U002E>"
thousands_sep   "<U002C>"

Thanks for your support!
