Indeed, declaring that a leading minus sign is "wrong", and parentheses
are "right", for the US locale, is not supported by common usage. Both
are widely used in different contexts, and Ubuntu does not deviate from
the upstream behavior.
We are also certainly not going to change the behavior on the 2-year-old
stable release that you reported this against.
To have this changed for future releases, please discuss with upstream
as suggested.
** Changed in: glibc (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Won't Fix
