But note that we've already seen in this thread a discrepancy between
Linux and NetBSD: NetBSD uses "ru_RU.KOI8-R" where Linux uses
"ru_RU.koi8r".

For what it's worth, I'll note that NetBSD may not be consistent with
itself at present.  In /usr/share/locale I see "bg_BG.CP1251" and in
/usr/X11R6/share/locale I see "bg_BG.cp1251".

Given the existence of /usr/share/i18n/esdb/esdb.alias, why is it a
bad thing to use it?
