Well, it looked like everything was fine for "debian testing, glibc
2.22-3", including de_DE.UTF-8. In theory, it's only a matter of using
git-bisect to find what the fix was. That's just leg-work. I will find
time for it after the ongoing CF.
Mercifully, the situation with Glibc 2.22 suggests that the Glibc
people *aren't* fixing the strcoll() bugs in stable branches. But that
also means that it will take a long time to make non-C collation text
sorting use abbreviation on most systems, which is certainly
disappointing.
