Title:
  "Greek, Modern (1453-)" name contains distracting detail

Status in One Hundred Papercuts:
  Triaged
Status in “iso-codes” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “iso-codes” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  iso-codes 3.17-1, Ubuntu 10.10

  1. Launch a utility that lists language names in your chosen language, e.g. Ubuntu's language-selector.
  2. Scroll through the list of languages.

  What you see:
  * Greek is listed as "Greek, Modern (1453-)".
  * No other kind of Greek is listed.
  * No other listed language contains a date in its name, except for Occitan (which is a bug too).

  What you should see:
  * Greek is listed simply as "Greek".

  Even if there was any software using iso-codes that usefully displayed
  "Greek, Ancient" as an option, it would still be obvious what "Greek"
  meant in contrast to that.

  Any fix for this bug probably needs to be done in Debian. Fixing this
  bug would alter the fix required for bug 267513.
