As the de facto l-c maintainer for a while, I completely agree with Frans comments. I did not push very hard for l-c support for two basic reasons: - the package being one big hack to circumvent the fact that dealing properly with localized environments was not done by several packages in sarge - I don't understand the code and noone popped up to continue maintaining the package As Frans explained, the remaining bits not done by l-c are not deeply affecting desktop systems users, so I don't really see a need to document this in the release notes. IMHO, l-c should completely be dropped out from unstable. In the future, when we identify l10n/i18n releated things that need to bo configured according to the system locale, we should work on them with package maintainers, not circumvent the problem.
