Title:
  wrong LC_TIME in Italian

Status in GLibC:
  Fix Released
Status in eglibc package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in glibc package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Accordingly to this file [1], this newspaper [2], and also because I'm Italian, there is an error in the way the date is displayed in linux.
  The correct format for Italian speakers is:
  day_name day_number month_name year, HH:MM:SS, time_zone

  in the LC_TIME date_fmt things are really mixed up and should be changed to:
  %a %e %b %Y, %H:%M:%S, %Z

  the file localedata/locales/it_IT needs to be changed, but I can't
  understand how, since there are only strange codes
