Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
You're kidding right? I just don't get the joke.
A calender which displays incorrect weeks is not usable, not to me at least.
"Package unusable" means (in Debian bug terminology) that nothing works.
You case is a normal bug: some functions are not usable, which is your
case: the other programs works, and only in one locale, one program
(cal) has some problem.
I've noticed it also with the testing version, upgraded to the unstable version
and the same bug is present.
...
Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8)
Are you sure the week numbering is incorrect for that locale? If so please
point me somewhere to find out what the right week numberiung is for en_US.
Yes, this is an international standard (ISO-8601 standard).
No! International standard is not equal to en_US. If you check
other part of ISO-8601 you will see much more differences.
So it must be checked further what are the usual week numbers in
US (e.g. from government documents or similar).
But breaking a long existing standard is usually not a nice things to
do, because probably a lot of users depends on current practice.

On my stable box I have the same locale.

LC_CTYPE="en_US.utf8"

LC_TIME="en_US.utf8"
