Hmm, C.UTF-8 appears to do what I want, but reading up on #609306, which was the initial discussion about that locale, indicated that people explicitly did not want C.UTF-8 to have a collation behavior different from plain C. So it looks like the current behavior of C.UTF-8 is wrong. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
