Title:
  cal in Ubuntu Oneiric ignores locale for start of week

Status in “bsdmainutils” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Being British, I am using the en_GB locale, so I would expect cal to
  display months where Monday appears as the first day in the week.
  Instead, it displays Sunday as the first day of the week, thus:

     February 2012      
  Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa  
            1  2  3  4  
   5  6  7  8  9 10 11  
  12 13 14 15 16 17 18  
  19 20 21 22 23 24 25  
  26 27 28 29

  For me, the LANG variable is set to en_GB.UTF-8

  It seems that cal might be hardcoded to a US locale where Sunday is
  always the first day of the week.

  Note that this only appears to have happened on Ubuntu Oneiric
  (11.10).
