That's formally correct. But since this bug was submitted, I had
forgotten about the other bug, and a fix referring to this one was
implemented, I marked it the other way around. Doesn't matter in
practice - you are here now, right? :)

Switzerland seems to have the same situation:

$ grep _CH /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED | grep 'UTF-8'
de_CH.UTF-8 UTF-8
fr_CH.UTF-8 UTF-8
it_CH.UTF-8 UTF-8
wae_CH UTF-8

I.e. the installer picks de_CH.UTF-8 if the user selects English as
language. But since German is spoken by the majority in Switzerland,
it's a sensible default and there is no problem to solve. Besides the
"political" one then, but users in countries like Belgium and
Switzerland have to live with that. The installer does not have a
mechanism for setting the formats locale explicitly, and it can easily
be tweaked afterwards in Settings.
