I thought so too. But back then, Susan G. Kleinmann and few others
recommended to use pt-br style. There were some thread here in
debian-doc@lists.debian.org. Then I made debiandoc-sgml which can
accept this pt-br etc. as is.
So now,
* debiandoc-sgml heritage documents use pt-br
* docbook-xml based document uses pt_BR
I kind of like FreeBSD style having full locale.
