Yes, Nicaragua's locale file (es_NI.UTF-8) is affected too. The decimal separator is a dot "." not a comma "," and the thousands separator is a comma, not a dot.

$ locale -k LC_NUMERIC
decimal_point=","
thousands_sep="."

Expected results:
$ locale -k LC_NUMERIC
decimal_point="."
thousands_sep=","

/usr/share/i18n/locales/es_NI has:
LC_NUMERIC
copy "es_ES"
END LC_NUMERIC

and should be:
LC_NUMERIC
decimal_point "<U002E>"
thousands_sep "<U002C>"
grouping 3;3
END LC_NUMERIC

Then I make a "dpk-reconfigure locales" and works fine.
