Hello d-i, et al

I live in Denmark, but almost always set up servers in english, to make
collaboration easier.

This means the en_DK.utf-8 locale is my preferred choice.

However, I can no longer (I believe it broke in jessie, perhaps before) select
it in the installer.

I select "English", then "Europe" then "Copenhagen", and I am told that there
is no locale available for my combination of choices. This is, of course,
wrong.

I then have to either fix up the system later, go through expert install, or
increase debconf priority (a trick I just learned today).

Why the bug happens, I'm not quite sure, but I have a suspicion. Denmark is one
of the few countries in the world, where the language and country codes do not
align (language: "da", country: "dk"). Perhaps the installer is checking the
wrong one of these?

Let me know how I can help!

Quoting Christian Iversen (ci+debbugs@iversenit.dk):


This is indeed bug #842630 (sort of). Please also notice that, last
time I checked, the en_DK locale is only meant to be a kind of proof of
concept and historical stuff by locales' upstream and not something
that should be in production (otherwise we would have as many en_*
locales as there are countries in the world.).
