Package: localization-config

When calling update-locale-config like
"/usr/sbin/update-locale-config de_DE.UTF-8" KDE (as in
/etc/kde3/system.kdeglobals and /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc) is configured for
Belgium German settings ("be" as country and "de" as language).The problem is in the way the locale is mapped to the KDE language. "langmap.pl" is mapping "de_DE.UTF-8" (actually "de.*") to 'German (BE)'. As for de_DE… there is only "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" in the list and the algorithm used to determine the entry strips the original local to de.* and not "de_DE.*". To make a log story short, the "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" key in langmap.pl may be change to "de_DE.UTF-8" (as this is the locale you get when you install Debian with Germany/German settings) or even better "de_DE". This way the correct language is chosen and the algorithm to find the correct entry does not need to be modified (this short before the lenny release). This bug is important for Debian Edu/Skolelinux there localization-config is used during installation and new users would be greeted in Dutch (which happens to be the primary language for Belgium in KDE) and not German. So it would be nice if a fixed version could be uploaded to sid and be requested to get a freeze exception for lenny.
