Bug#817895: locales: C and C.UTF-8 differ where they should not

[Michael Meskes <meskes@debian.org>]

Package: locales
Version: 2.22-2
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

as far as I know C and and C.UTF-8 should be identical, except for everything
that's character encoding related. However:

ael@feivel:~$ LC_ALL=C locale week-1stweek
4
michael@feivel:~$ LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 locale week-1stweek
7

The C.UTF-8 locale file says:

...
% ISO 8601 conforming applications should use the values 7, 19971201 (a
% Monday), and 4 (Thursday), respectively.
week    7;19971130;7
...

The comment points to the right value, but it is not used.

Michael
