Hello,

Debian already added this patch to the deb package, but I think it'd
better be modified in the official release.

What it does is forces the 'sort' command to sort stuff as the default
behavior and not use the locale-specific LC_COLLATE which changes the
default sort behavior.
(man sort, look for the *** WARNING ***.. that's what they suggest). 

(I DID experienced a problem caused by a weird sort behavior, if you
wondered..)

Theoretically LC_COLLATE=C could be enough, but LC_ALL=C will do no harm
(that's also what the Debian package maintainer did)..

What do you say? Any reason why NOT to apply this patch?
