So what you want is actually LC_LANG=de_DE LANGUAGE=en, right?
I guess this is what #842630 ("localechooser: Should support separating
language from localization") is about, then: no need for a new locale,
just a need for separating the language from the rest of the locale.
Otherwise we'd end up with a flurry of language/country combination,
that'd be unmaintainable.
