Really?  Huh.  I'm surprised, as from what I've seen the locales take
almost no disk space, so I've never seen an installer that didn't
install all of them.  I don't know if I'd ever need a Ukranian locale,
but all of our systems have it :-/

I grew up with that date format so I'm used to it, but I can't really
defend it; it doesn't make sense to me either.

I'll see if I can make this work; I still think I'd start out with en_US.UTF-8
and see what we fall back to if that doesn't work.
