[Bug 963460] Re: check-language-support for zh-hans/zh_CN and zh-hant/zh_TW returns different packages

[Martin Pitt]

Note that check-language-support was not really meant to work with the
"zh-han[st]" values, it's supposed to be a locale. But it's not hard for
language_support_pkgs to rewrite it back to the locale form, so I'll do
that.

** Also affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Summary changed:

- check-language-support for zh-hans/zh_CN and zh-hant/zh_TW returns different packages
+ Ubiquity calls check-language-support with "zh-hans" instead of a locale (zh_CN)

Bug description:
  In Precise, using check-language-support -l zh_CN returns:
  cmap-adobe-gb1 firefox-locale-zh-hans fonts-arphic-uming ibus-sunpinyin ibus-table-wubi language-pack-gnome-zh-hans language-pack-zh-hans libreoffice-help-zh-cn libreoffice-l10n-zh-cn poppler-data thunderbird-locale-zh-cn thunderbird-locale-zh-hans ttf-arphic-ukai ttf-wqy-zenhei

  whereas check-language-support -l zh-hans returns:
  cmap-adobe-gb1 firefox-locale-zh-hans fonts-arphic-uming ibus-sunpinyin ibus-table-wubi language-pack-gnome-zh-hans language-pack-zh-hans poppler-data thunderbird-locale-zh-hans ttf-arphic-ukai ttf-wqy-zenhei

  You will notice that zh-hans does not have any of the *-zh-cn packages
  listed.  This is an issue because in situations where you want to
  install zh_CN language/locale support using Ubiquity, Ubiquity will
  automatically convert zh_CN to zh-hans and then only install those
  packages.

  The same is true for zh_TW and zh-hant where the *-zh-tw will not be
  installed if the user chooses zh_TW.
