Bug Description

Currently this package doesn't include a Myanmar (Burmese) locale. Will the Hardy release include support for Unicode 5.1? http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode5.1.0/

If so, would it be possible to add a Myanmar locale. A suitable locale is available is available at:
http://www.thanlwinsoft.org/ThanLwinSoft/Downloads/Collation/locale-my-0.0.20071210.tar.gz
At the moment this relies on patching /usr/share/i18n/charmaps/UTF-8.gz to include the extra code points, but if the main UTF-8.gz is updated to include all the 5.1 changes, then this will no longer be necessary.

---------------
langpack-locales (2.11+git20100304-1) lucid; urgency=low

  * Update to current upstream glibc git head localedata:
    - New locales: my_MM (LP: #175368), ps_AF
    - Fix yes/no strings and first day of week in several locales.
    - es_CO: Define AM/PM. (LP: #51255)
  * debian-first_weekday.diff: Update to drop bits which got accepted
    upstream.
  * debian-tailor-iso14651_t1.diff: Drop hsb_DE part, which does not apply any
    more. (It's just simplification)
  * Drop ubuntu-shs_CA-accents.patch, applied upstream.
  * Add debian-fr_{BE,CA,CH,LU}-first_weekday.diff from Debian, to fix first
    day of week for various French locales. (LP: #497497)
  * debian/local/locale-gen: Fix building of an explicitly specified locale
    for the .utf8 form.
  * debian/control: Bump Standards-Version to 3.8.4 (no changes necessary).
  * Convert patch system to quilt, for better robustness.
  * Convert to debhelper 7 and dh.
  * Install scripts in debian/local/* in debian/install instead of
    debian/rules. dh_fixperms takes care of the permissions for us.
  * Prefix debhelper data files with "locales" package name for consistency.
  * Add debian/README.source.
