I don't know, we already use en_HK which is for Hong Kong Dollar
(right?) and therefore it's ok. IMO, we could choose whatever locale we
like with the only condition that the corresponding country does not
belong to the European Union (dozens of possible choices)

Currently we use de_DE, fr_FR@euro and en_HK. The latter is ok. The
first one, in my understanding definitely not, the second one, as you
say, probably ok, but I'm not sure, because both I don't know where to
study all of this and I don't have a glibc2.2cvs installed to experiment
with :-(
What do you expect from a @euro locale?
In any case, in the current testsuite there are no tests involving the
fr_FR@euro currency symbol, so everything should be ok for it from a
practical point of view.
But what about de_DE? The currency symbol for 2.2.5 is definitely DEM or
DM, both, I suppose, it's EUR for 2.2cvs, right?? de_DE is probably the
culprit.
