Just a note.  I am running on en_GB.UTF-8 on warty (and debian unstable
before) for a long time, without noticable problems.  My national locale
would be cs_CZ.UTF-8, but I consider localized text confusing for me.

Maybe some tweaking with setting LANG=cs_CZ.UTF-8 and
LC_MESSAGES=en_GB.UTF-8 would suit my environment better, but it's not
worth it.
