Package: locales Version: 2.11.2-13 Severity: wishlist File: locale.gen locale.gen has locales in arbitrary order, with some new locales added at the bottom, some locales appearing at the top, and the rest in sorted order. This makes it difficult to compare two different versions of locale.gen, such as via etckeeper. In my case, this came up when attempting to merge an old system's /etc into the /etc of its replacement system; locale.gen had many changes to the ordering of locales, but none of them had semantic significance. Please consider sorting the locales in /etc/locale.gen. The exact sort order doesn't matter, as long as it has some canonical ordering. (In particular, it doesn't matter if the sort order puts enabled locales first/last or sorts them together with disabled locales.)
