I'm a proponent of en_DK.UTF-8 in general, particularly as it gets you ISO 8601 date and time when set for LC_TIME. I have trouble with its inversion (relative to my cultural background) of "," and "." in numbers so I still use en_US.UTF-8 for my LC_NUMERIC though I gather there's a good chunk of the World where that syntax considered perfectly acceptable. I also am not a fan of the modern "dictionary ordering" and prefer to stick to a traditional greybeard caps-first sort by using C.UTF-8 as LC_COLLATE. I have a feeling if you were to ask lots of Debian users, you'd find a plethora of different frankenlocales like mine reflecting a myriad of personal preferences, so it may be hard to come up with a real consensus around a from-scratch default locale. As such, using en_DK.UTF-8 for this is as good a default as any in my opinion. -- Jeremy Stanley
