(From https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=370772#c8:)

Unfortunately, the state of locales wrt. week information is real mess. First,
there seems to be no official documentation of first_weekday, however 
http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_localedef#LC_TIME_settings seems to be a
reasonable source.

Basically, it seems the cs_CZ locale is completely bogus even in that it binds
day[1] (Nedele/Sunday) to week-1stday=19971201 which is Monday. first_weekday
is index to 1-based day[] array, so either the array should start with
Pondeli/Monday or first_weekday=2 and week-1stday=19971130.

This is a long-standing problem and data for most locales is bogus; we will try
to fix that in long term, but this is an arduous process. For now I recommend
to ignore locale data on the start of the week completely.
