I think you (and nginx?) are mistaken: The officially registered meaning 
for file suffix .br is the language breton.

The confusion probably stems from the (officially registered, I guess) 
content-encoding type 'br' which indeed is brotli.


I introduced the brotli-compressed files with extension .br but changed 
that when I realized my mistake.

Until that clash with language code is resolved (if ever) I think it is 
wrong to change back, and I therefore flag this as wontfix.


See also related bug#972632 from when I realized my mistake.
