Package: fortune-mod
Version: 1:1.99.1-3.1
Severity: normal

Suppose I have locale ru_UA.utf8

I have fortunes for english, german and russian language.

If I want russian fortunes, I can type "fortune ru".
For german fortues - "fortune de".
But "fortune en" unsuccessful - yes, there is no such directory -
english fortunes are installed to /usr/share/games/fortunes itself, not
in "en" subdirectory.

"fortune" produces me locale-dependent language fortunes - russian for
my locale.

So, only way for me is type "LANG=C fortune". But I think this is a bad
approach. Is there a way to obtain english fortunes without manual
locale change?
