What way of setting the locale does Gentoo's wiki describe? I am bit surprised that you expect these instructions to apply to Debian without any conditions as well. Debian is obviously not Gentoo.

I fully agree with Mike. Setting the locale works as expected per user and session, we use this on a daily basis at work.

Just use a display manager like lightdm that supports choosing the locale per session and user while logging in. It works for as expected. Other display managers like mdm work as well.
