I really have no interest to get in the middle of all this.  The extension
@classic seems indeed to be wrong to me from what I read.  And there is already
a Belarusian locale.

Unless this second language variant is the official one (which I doubt it is) it
is best to just collect a tarball with all the appropriate files and distribute
it separately.  There is nothing a separately distribute locale source file
cannot do if it is compiled using localedef upon installation.

Adding variants like this (as opposed to Latin vs Cyrillic, for instance) would
mean we open ourselves to all kind of fights like this.

So, unless I get some really convincing arguments I'll close this as WONTFIX.
