Package: coreutils
Version: 9.1-1
Version: 9.4-3
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
The manual doesn't say what the --quoting-style=s are,
but zless /usr/share/info/coreutils.info.gz says
‘clocale’
Quote strings as for C character string literals, except use
surrounding quotation marks appropriate for the locale.
‘locale’
Quote strings as for C character string literals, except use
surrounding quotation marks appropriate for the locale, and
quote 'like this' instead of "like this" in the default C
locale. This looks nicer on many displays.
This is abjectly false, and it seems to simply use
‘ (U+2018, UTF-8 e2 80 98 ): LEFT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
’ (U+2019, UTF-8 e2 80 99 ): RIGHT SINGLE QUOTATION MARK
when in a UTF-8 codeset (unicode codeset? idk, didn't look too hard).
Behold:
$ LC_ALL=C ls --quoting-style=clocale aa
"aa"
$ LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 ls --quoting-style=clocale aa
‘aa’
$ LC_ALL=pl_PL.UTF-8 ls --quoting-style=clocale aa
‘aa’
$ LC_ALL=fr_FR.UTF-8 ls --quoting-style=clocale aa
‘aa’
the locale is "C" in both cases.
Polish uses
„ (U+201E, UTF-8 e2 80 9e ): DOUBLE LOW-9 QUOTATION MARK
” (U+201D, UTF-8 e2 80 9d ): RIGHT DOUBLE QUOTATION MARK
for quotes at the first level.
French uses guillemets pointing outwards.
These are simply not appropriate for the locale,
and it's a symptom of imperialism to imply that they are.
Best,

Nevermind actually I fucked my test environment up completely.
This does actually appear to work on sid, and I do see „a\032a”.
Sorry lads.
