Details

LC_COLLATION=fi_FI treats some lower-case letters (v, w, å, ä, ö) as upper-case. This causes problems with grepping, for example.

Ubuntu has it right, maybe we should use their version? Patch attached.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Get yourself fi_FI.UTF-8 locale.
2) Test:
export LC_COLLATION=fi_FI.UTF-8
echo v | grep -E '[u-x]' || echo - # expected: v, actual: -
echo v | grep -E '[U-X]' || echo - # expected: -, actual: v
echo w | grep -E '[u-x]' || echo - # expected: w, actual: -
echo w | grep -E '[U-X]' || echo - # expected: -, actual: w
echo ä | grep -E '[Å-Ö]' || echo - # expected: -, actual: ä
echo Ä | grep -E '[å-ö]' || echo - # expected: -, actual: Ä
echo abvcd | sed -r 's/[a-z]+/-/g' # expected: -, actual: -v-

LC_COLLATION=fi_FI.UTF-8 echo w | grep -E '[[:lower:]]'
LC_COLLATION=fi_FI.UTF-8 echo w | grep -E '[[:upper:]]'

You need to learn regex...

Edit: well not regex, but that [u-x] does not guarantee "u,v,w,x" in every locale in grep.
