No. This data is now stored in /var/lib/AccountsService/users/$user. It
should be set through the control center language panel, but apparently
that’s what doesn’t work on your system.

Is the file in /var/lib/AccountsService correctly updated when you do
the change in the control center?

(Note that if you want to set a default system language, you should do
it in /etc/default/locale which is the Debian standard, instead of
hacking startup scripts.)
