Re: Bug#522776: debian-policy: mandate existence of a standardised UTF-8 locale

>What about LC_COLLATE (which is a major problem with sort(1)) ?
1:1, just like the C locale does.
>What about packages that run before /usr is mounted ?
They do not have /usr/*/locale/ anyway. This is a glibc problem.
>What about embedded systems with tight space requirement ?
They have different rules anyway… they need to see themselves
if the C.UTF-8 locale (estimated ~200K) is worth it.
