I have to disagree.  If your system does this, it's not the
traditional expected behavior, and probably is something specific to
either Debian's locales, or with the version of the ls command that
you're using.  See below.

$ echo $LANG
en_US.UTF-8
$ ls -l numbers.doc
-rw-------  1 ddm ddm 27648 Jul 20 00:49 numbers.doc

Doesn't work here -- not on RH9, and not on FC2.

There is, however, the --time-style= parameter to control how the date
is displayed.

Interestingly, the info documentation for ls suggests that it should
work as you suggest, but at least on RH and related, it doesn't seem
to.
