Michael Meskes dixit:

>Could you please elaborate what (n)cal miss? "ncal -w" does give you
>week numbers

But which ones? American? German? ISO? (Turns out the latter two are
identical.) This is completely underdocumented and doesn’t match
expectations; even the “week begins with sunday/monday” knobs don’t
promise anything as the American and ISO ways of counting weeks are
still distinct.

It also has a different output format from traditional.

I understand if you find this too bothersome to do in Debian for
such a (corner?) case, but that is why this is of wishlist severity ;)

bye,
