Yes, my locale output should look as you suggest.
BUT, I the humble end user shouldn't have to know any of this or do
anything to make it so (rather than feed the installer some appropriate
information).
I didn't set the setting this way, anaconda did. And anaconda has made
all these assumptions because I picked a language to use on my system.
I also told anaconda I live in Australia, but seemingly that information
wasn't that interesting when making assumptions about where I live.
