First of all, note that I don't want that people lose their time, but at least,
if this behaviour is justified, it will be documented in some place.

Yes, sorry about this. When Jakub posted his comment, I investigated a bit
more, and I saw that Debian ships only the templates, and that locales should
be generated in the user's system (I thought that the files
under /u/s/i18n/locales were enough).

Now the subject of the bug is innapropiate, I don't see how to change it,
sorry.
But what still I don't understand, is why the period is ignored. I tested this
with my cell phone, and with Mac OS X (I suppose the BSD libc is the
responsible here), and it is NOT ignored.
IMHO, this is not what a user expects. Why spanish and catalan have different
rules than english for this? I can ask the RAE (responsibles of spanish
official dictionary, grammar, etc.) about this if you consider it necessary.
Thanks in advance.
