[Bug localedata/11945] New: Month names in Russian Localization should be in lowercase

[martin dot pitt at ubuntu dot com]

From original bug report at https://launchpad.net/bugs/124987:

-------------------
Current date format for Russian locale is:
"Втр, 10 Июл, 00:31".

1. According to Russian writing practice, month names are not capitalized. So if
month name doesn't stay in the beginning of the sentence, its first letter
should not be capital (for example: "10 июля" or "10 июл" for abbreviation).

2. 3 letter abbreviations for weekdays are very rare in Russian. It is better to
use 2 letters (Пн, Вт, Ср, Чт, Пт, Сб, Вс).
-------------------------------

As a reference, both month names and weekday names appear on the Russian
president's site: http://www.kremlin.ru/news

This bug still cannot be fixed properly because locale support in glibc was 
done by redneck retards who don't know there are other languages except 
english. This patch will not be of much use sadly.

And FFS, why there are dots (.) in weekdays and months? show me calendar with 
dots, clowns.
