The idea is that "phonebook" collation is a preference that is either available under the current locale, or not. When a locale change has been detected, the sort keys will be generated under the "phonebook" collation of the new locale... this will fallback to the default ICU rules for the given locale if "phonebook" tailoring is not available.
