--- Comment #5 from Nick Coghlan <ncoghlan at gmail dot com> ---
While it's true that glibc itself doesn't provide a C.UTF-8 locale, does that
really make this bug report invalid?

The Debian-derived family of distros default to adding a C.UTF-8 locale at the
distro level, but it doesn't quite work as expected, as it's missing some of
the special casing afforded the default C locale. The specific one covered by
this BZ is the face that LC_ALL=C will make glibc ignore the LANGUAGE setting,
but LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 doesn't.

Another possible way of phrasing the request would be for all "C.*" locales to
ignore the LANGUAGE setting the same way the unmodified "C" locale does, rather
than special casing "C.UTF-8". I'm not *personally* aware of any such locales
in widespread use other than "C.UTF-8", but that doesn't mean there aren't any.
