Public bug reported:

`/usr/share/i18n/locales/nl_NL` has a wrong value for thousands_sep.

Currently it's: ""

It should be "."

Source 1 (in dutch):
https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:Getalnotatie#Decimaalteken_en_scheidingsteken_voor_duizendtallen

This source says that a period is used, but to avoid confusion with the
English notation (which is ",") a space can be used. Currently it is
neither a period nor a space.

Source 2 (in English):
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator#Examples_of_use

Search for Netherlands in the table. The second note after the table
also mentions the use of a period as separator in everyday life and a
space for technical writing.

Suggested fix: set the thousand separator to a period.

(ubuntu-bug locale didn't allow me to file a bug report, so this is a
handwritten report).
