According to http://people.debian.org/~barbier/intl/l10n/po/ there is currently no package in Debian with de_CH messages. As French quotes are quite common in German catalogs (e.g. they are used in all GNOME packages), this means that de_CH users are currently seeing lots of 'reversed' quotes. And of course ,," transliteration ;) I read your message as: "the proposed patch is an improvement for all German speaking people, but may be even improved for de_CH folks", but note that glibc maintainers seem reluctant to apply the requested changes and may have a different reading of your message.
