I don't see a reason for Debian to use any name at all for the Greek province of Macedonia. From Debian's standpoint, there is no namespace collision here; Debian's locale system generally only needs to know about top-level, autonomous territories. There are still reasons why we may want to avoid the name "Macedonia" for _MK locales, but these are subtle political reasons, not simple namespace collisions. No one feels the need to disambiguate the former Soviet republic Georgia from the US state Georgia, for instance. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
