Getting ISO-8601 in Thunderbird 60

Debian is now shipping Thunderbird 60, which has resulted in an annoying change:
The old "hack" to get TB to show dates in ISO-8601 format (set LC_TIME to en_DK.utf-8) does not work anymore.
See bug 1344594 for the ugly details, and a workaround:

ln -s en_DK /usr/share/i18n/locales/en_SE

echo en_SE.UTF-8 UTF-8 >> /etc/locale.gen

locale-gen

and then set LC_TIME to en_SE.utf-8
